HI,

I got my N900 about a week ago, and although I did not do a lot of research about support or continued development prior to purchasing it, I did do some, and for the most part I felt satisfied that I got a good phone.

I went ahead and read this entire thread to try to understand what is happening with its development, and to try to see if I had bought the wrong device. I'll be honest at first I was a little worried, but after continuing to read, and reading all of this thread on hardware adaptation, for the moment it looks like i will still be satisfied, depending on how this MeeGo-Harmattan project works out.

One aspect of the phone I did not like at first was the lack of more portrait mode support, which I had mentioned in this thread and had asked about its status as under development, and I am assuming that the work that will be done making MeeGo-Harmattan usable for the N900 will incorporate something like what I had imagined based on what i read here. I also assumed the reason why no-one was replying to the thread I was commenting on is because this is in the works...

In any-case, I thank everyone that Is making this possible from both sides, and really appreciate the forum community, and the hard work/good comments that has/have gone into this thread in particular. It really was a good read, as strange as that sounds.

I don't know exactly how I could contribute or help in this endeavor, but I'm willing to do anything. I've got lots of bandwidth, enough free time to read a 21 page long thread , and some very limited knowledge of programing, which after getting this phone I might want to expand, and a will to help, so....count me in.
