I have an N900 on loan for a week and here are my first impressions:

1) This is an amazing device - that needs to be said upfront. The hardware on this particular device functions perfectly.

2) Battery life is bad - I have barely taxed it and am already at 75%.

3) Touchscreen is very responsive, but it still needs some optimization tweaks from Nokia.

4) The 2 apps I've downloaded & installed, Hermes and MaStory, are excellent. Major kudos to the devs.

5) In a span of 1.5 hours the keyboard began 'making sense.' It also feels great.

6) The screen is gorgeous and not too small.

7) Xvid files I've downloaded play perfectly.

8) Being able to make a Skype call and have it feel like a cellular call is AWESOME! For this alone I thank the Nokia gods.I should mention that I am not a phone power user, so 2 profiles are fine for me. The phone app is great for me - I have no complaints.


So - all in all - I feel that this device is perfect for me. I am definitely buying another charging cable for work - and another battery.

For me and my needs, Nokia has hit a homerun!
