I guess I'll probably get the N900 after all.. we'll see after I will get my hands on it..
Just another dumb question.. do I understand it correctly, that after the update most of the built-in apps support portrait mode? I will be probably using landscape mode more often, but for simple tasks that I will want to be performed fast as checking out time/new sms/etc, I just can't imagine going landscape..

Also, are the updates only over the air, or can I update it with PC too? And I can update it freely, without any region/operator issues, right?.)
