great stuff guys, i've only had the device for half a day now, and i'm extremely comfortable with navigating around the maemo os, program installations are smooth, no hiccups, no resets, no lagginess!

this is with multiple widgets streaming realtime pidgin(msn), facebook, rss feeds. conky reports rootfs as having just over 70mb free, pretty snappy. youtube webpage streaming is extremely smooth, dvd rips of movies (divx + ac3) run smooth on the default media player, video out to a tv works out of the box on these movies.

the only thing not working is 'turning control' to portrait mode for phone. however i much prefer to use the n900 in landscape mode exclusively, so it's not a problem.

the n900 is truly a remarkable device, it cost more than my asus netbook, but it's alot cooler. i haven't felt this way about a mobile device since i got my first gen iphone way back in aug 07!
