Btw this brings me on to an interesting point, any downsides to the N900 you care to mention?
If you are in the Midwest (USA) no one will have a clue what an N900 is. So if your battery dies in the middle of an OS update, you're probably toast until you get a second battery. (Yes, this happened to me.)

The USB cable isn't standard micro but it's the same as other Nokias if that matters to you.

Oh - the Nokia updater is way worse than Android's ADB, which is saying a lot. Holding down the U and waiting for the USB symbol before plugging in the cable is ridiculous.

Installing apps via repositories is awkward - especially if you can't remember which one a program is in. But then trying to find anything useful in the Android Market is tedious and time consuming, so it kind of balances out.

Themes take up way too much space so I skip them but that's just me - YMMV.
