Mine arrived tonight. I played with it while charging it. I'm impressed so far. The biggest disappointment is the missing telepathy transports. I know I can get them from Extras-dev. I might just wait until they are official.

My N900 gave me a WTF moment. I turned it off while it was plugged into the charger. The charging light stopped blinking and the N900 made noises. It alternated between a single buzz and a bing each separated from the other by 10-20 seconds. It kept that up until I unplugged the charger. I turned it back on, then turned it off and plugged in the charger. It returned to the expected behavior: blinking indicator light and no noises.

I've had it about a week. It's growing on me. It's the nicest tablet I've ever had. (I have the 770 and the 800.) It's the nicest phone I've ever had. All in all, I'm very happy with it.

I've never had WIFI or 2-, 2.5-, 3-, or 3.5-G service on a phone before. I like it a lot. I used it the other day at a museum while on a date with a geek girl to find a restaurant. She used her iPhone's restaurant finder app. I just used Google and urbanspoon.

A few days ago, the media player surprised me by showing me the UPnP server on my network. I streamed music from it for over an hour while working at my desk.

Last night, I discovered that it can play some of the movies I downloaded from the Miro player's Archive Classic Movies feed. I streamed them off my UPnP server. Later, I used the file manager to copy them into the N900.

I've used the Map application a little bit. It's OK. It doesn't show me moving around with the same fidelity as MaemoMapper did on my N800 with an external GPS but I think I can make use of it.

I'm starting to make use of pixelpipe and I have a qik account but haven't done anything with it yet.

I even signed up for OVI even though I publicly complained that I don't get it. I'm giving it a try. When it fully works with Fremantle, it may be the easiest way for a non-Windows user to sync. Having said that, I'm holding out for a SyncML server I can run on my Mac or my Linux netbook.

Speaking about sync: it took me a long time to figure out how to transfer my Thunderbird address book into the N900. First, I made Thunderbird export to a CSV file. Then I made Evolution import the CSV and export a VCF file. Finally, I copied the VCF file to the N900 and imported it into Contacts.

It took a while to figure this out. Thunderbird exports LDIF, CSV, and TSV. Contacts doesn't like the first two and I didn't try the third. Evolution claims it imports LDIF but it didn't do a good job with the file that Thunderbird made for me. However, it did the right thing with the CSV file.
