Well the public release, in the UK, was mid December (I know because i was waiting day by day ) It is buggy, but no more than most devices i have owned (Apple Newton, Psion 3c, Palm Vx, Sony NX73, UX50 and Nokia N95 8Gb). But it has done far more for me on day 1 than those devices ever achieved when I had finished with them.

The iPhone is a classic case, now after more than a year it is close to bug free. I wager the N900 (or other Meego device) will be far better in 18 months.
