After the PR 1.2 fiasco (many people not being being able to upgrade), I'd say a big NO.

I am veteran Linux user and a professed anti-mainstream guy, but the update really showed a lot to me. I updated mine OTA using the commandline using 3 commands (after dicking around). A simple thing that could be scripted into the actual upgrade software, but it seems Nokia's developers can't even do that. Further, the fact that people couldn't even perform the upgrade using the PC installer speaks volumes to how much they care about this product.

I've had the N900 for a few weeks now and I do enjoy it as a nice toy for hackers and those who like dicking around. But I think most people would do better elsewhere; it's not worth the hassle and it is now clear it is not on Nokia's priority list. The items that were supposed to separate it from the crowd have not even materialised: fully-functioning Skype video or Flash 10.1, while the crowd is getting those features as we speak.

If you want a wonderful Linux toy, then yes, but otherwise, I think you're best off waiting for a better Nokia offering or going elsewhere.
