Several Linux distributions have been trying to become mainstream unsuccessfully and Maemo is no exception. This phone was intended for the general public believe it or not.


I appreciate the respectable and thoughtful replies but those who are calling the N900 a "developer phone" and urge those who complain about bad support to sell it is counter productive for the whole process of making Maemo/Meego mainstream. Linux's success in the world will not be based on what a nerd will do on his terminal for his own pleasure but how he can make that terminal disappear for us to still be able to use Linux at its fullest.
