I've got my N900 today, so here we go with some random and probably uninteresting first impressions

* The back cover is really difficult to open. I nearly ripped one of my nails. Still hurts

* I like the lanyard (wrist strap?) attachment, i've ordered tons of multicolored ones from ebay. Can't decide which color to use tomorrow.

* The N900 really feels smaller than in the photos & videos seen in recent times (even if it is objectively a brick). I may change my mind when i try to put it in a pocket but at the moment i really like it.

* I'm sure the back cover will not survive the first drop (it's kept in place with really small plastic tabs). Fortunately i've got a lot of spare duct tape. I don't even talk about the stand which looks like to have a pretty low life expectancy.

* Where is the funky multicolored led like on the N810 ? we now have a really small led and i'm not even sure it can have color different than yellow.

* Map application is a joke. It's awful and unresponsive. I've got to try to get binaries from the old application from N810 (don't do this, license probably does not allow it)

* Where is initfs_flasher for dual-boot ?

* Where is the D-Pad ? is it a detachable one ? I can't find it in the box! ( ok just joking )

* Touch screen gets a lot of fingerprint and i don't like how it feels (difficult to explain). I wish there are good screen protectors like Brando one available soon.

* I already miss hardware buttons for fullscreen, task switching and so on, but it's probably not a dealbreaker (lost the link to qole dealbreaker post)

* I'm not sure i like having the phone vibrate each time i press on the screen. I think i prefer the N810 beep


Any other things I can think about (good browser and so on) have already been said hundreds of times so i'll refrain from saying it again.

Overall ... I just like it
