That's a scary thought... if I wanted another Android or iPhone I would have just keep with them . If the N900 loses it's openness before I get a chance to buy one I won't buy it.

As much as having Linux on my device would be cool.. it makes it pointless to be restricted in it's use. So I guess I'm one of those legacy scared of the new "phone" 'features'..

ETA: And BTW: that sucks that your projects isn't getting as much help as you need Tex.. I thought it was an excellent idea.. just don't have really I can provide for it at this time.
