Hi all!

Another Dutchy checking in.

As a Ubuntu user for the last 4 years i've been fighting with my fruitphone ever since i got it. When i read about the N900 i knew i had found my new phone. Already have a buyer for the rotten fruit, just waiting for my new baby to arrive!

-No more itunes (!!!)
-No more cracking your phone before it becomes even remotely functional
-No more single sourced, poorly documented, poorly executed, dirty hacks (cydia repo's) for things that should be standard
-No more lock-in (development, usage, if it doesn't fall within the Apple guidelines you're SOL)
-No more "the web lite" webbrowsing experience
-No more insanely scratch-prone build quality
-No more obscenely expensive, incompatible accessories (30 euros for a charger or 15 for just a usb cable?!)
No more!

To be fair, for it's time it was quite revolutionairy and i've enjoyed using it. It's just that after a while the above problems just became too much, and that's not even counting the screen failure on the first one (they did give me a warranty replacement after waiting 3 weeks though...).

First and last piece of fruity tech i'll ever own.

So i'm ready, bring it on
