I had an N80 for the last couple years and loved it. Except that it didn't use T-Mobile 3G and it wasn't a true web browsing experience. And I really wanted a full keyboard. The N900 is the phone I've been waiting for (or very close to it). I love Nokia and hate the US carrier restrictions and Apple DRM so the N900 is great for me. Even though I'm not really a tech geek (no offense) and know nothing about Linux. BTW, posting this from my N900 at the airport on T-Mo 3G.
