Might want try to install Android on the N900. The device itself is great, so it would be a waste to not use it.

By now I'm starting to waver myself. I love Maemo, but learning that reflashing my device will force me to pay for "registration" once again was a bit of a shock.

Yes, both Google and Nokia don't seem to care much for my privacy, but right now we have the choice between "Doesn't care for my privacy, but at least tries to appeal to me" and "Doesn't care for my privacy and feels obliged to **** with me on a daily base".

Nokia's clearly loosing this race, but just like they didn't care that they lost a whole bunch of their customers when they decided to close half of their Central European branches in order to move them to low-wage countries, they don't care about the current fiasco, either.

Instead they feel it's the right thing to do to give us this "screw you, we'll continue to mess with you" reply.
