I'm really intruiged about the community side of it too, and hopefully i'll get to grips with what the phone is capable of doing, even though i'm no techie/ I have music, video capabilities, camera, full proper web browsing. with a phone (it's only my wife that calls me anyway), what more could you ask for!!, apart from 100,000 apps, of which 98,000 aren't downloaded
My thoughts, EXACTLY! I really don't care about all the missing apps many people over talking about, I've been waiting for nokia to release a nice cellphone with a good web experience. Before I was going for N97 but didn't buy it after reading all the reviews but now I'm keen on buying N900 ASAP! I've been on this forum as an observer and have red many reviews about N900, I know what i'm going into and don't have all high expectations etc. Like you, I'm new to Linux, in fact I installed ubuntu just to learn about Linux and how it works, after knowing that N900 is linux-based. I really have no clue about SSH or VNC etc but look into it after I get my device.

I didn't pre-order n900 but my local cellphone shop will have few N900s arriving today and I'm probably gonna be picking up one tomorrow. I'm just hoping I won't get a faulty unit =/. Other than that I am sure I will enjoy my new phone. And Oh I have N82 as of now.
