after trawling the maemo forums for almost a month, it came down to the n900, the motorola droid, nexus one, and hd2.

i got a pretty decent price for the n900 so i bit the bullet.

it's awesome, does almost everything i expected it to. surprisingly smooth transition considering the maemo os is new to me.

thank you all for being such an active community, i hope to be of some contribution in the near future!
