it's app's like this one and Connect Now that offer me reassurance I bought the right phone. especially with all the FUD floating around (myself included) about the flaws and how unpolished the OS is (this phone really is/was lacking so much that should've been there in the get-go, and I did a TON of research pre and post-purchase).

I want to thank you - and the other dev's - for helping tip the scale. I've been thinking about getting another phone until Nokia/Maemo irons out some issues and updates provide more features, but every 2-3 days I see a development that makes me think I won't need a sidekick for the N900 in a month or so time.
