Dude calm......

Its early days yet..

the App Store didn't have 100'000 pieces of crappy programs on day 1...

The N900 ain't really being pushed yet, I've had mine a month and CPW are only just starting to advertise it in store, from the materials I've seen it looks like its going to be a real big push for the N900 at CPW, massive adverts and nice cardboard cut-out stands etc, in my opinion it looks like the N900 is getting more advertisement real estate in our store than any other phone we've done including the iPhone..

Anyway, I'm more interested in the community side of things, one of the main reasons the iPhone was an instant success was the fact that it was jailbroken very early on, the N900 needs no such hack to get the same functionality - all the N900 needs in terms of Apps etc is constant clean user interfaces

i.e. modding our N900's in terms of theming is quite annoying as you need to use the xTerminal to replace certain images and system files to get the desired look, jailbroken iPhones have the Summerboard and Winterboard programs to manage all system wide graphical changes, its elements like this that will define whether the N900 is embraced on a large scale..

Ease of use, always outwits, xTerminal usage
