God:

I *love* my N900. It's a phone. And it's a cool Linux box.

I've never sent an MMS, so I don't miss that. And I surprisingly find myself not caring about portrait mode.

That said: the lack of a home button that cycles between desktop, task manager and apps is completely bizarre.

Early adopters, who don't mind very slightly unfinished software, will love this phone.

The funny bit is, people forget how unfinished the iPhone was when it was first released: no apps, no 3G, only a few apps supported portrait and landscape, limited email server support, no mms, no sms to multiple people.

I, and many others, are happy to deal with a slight lack of polish (for now), in return for an enormously capable device.
