Have had trouble finding the nokia N900 available anywhere near me, but finally the vodafone store in Belfast has them in stock. Now I have to wait until 10th February until my upgrade is due on my contract as I dont have £500 lying about and my credit card is nearly maxed out lol.

Played with it for a few minutes in the store today and the screen was amazing. So responsive, so crisp and clear. Types a message with the keyboard and it was very fast and comfortable. With more use it will only get better. Didnt get a chance to use the browser cos it only had 2G signal at the time and the wifi required a login, but I will trust the reviews that say the browser is the best feature.

Im a complete linux n00b but have a few friends who are developers so should be able to pick a few things up off them and ofcourse all you braniacs on here. Gonna install Ubuntu on my laptop this weekend aswell to try and get a feel for is over the next couple of months.

Anyways sorry for a bit of a random thread but just wanted to share my excitement. Been looking forward to getting this phone since october 2009, and after a LOOOOOOONG wait, it's almost time!! Just three long weeks to go! :-)
