I've seen a lot of gripes here, and I guess the n900 is way from perfect - but hey, yesterday I went for the debian install, then decided to flash the firmware, and when I set up debian again, it was all still there and the easy debian just picked it straight up. Then I installed Stellarium via a chroot session using apt-get, and that ran under the LXDE - albeit very slowly...

That is utterly amazing!!!

I still have to pinch myself. I have GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, Open Office... and Stellarium and if that works I guess just about anything in the debian repository will work as well.

This thing pisses on iPhones and Androids from what I can see.

Here's the problem - I cannot see us getting another phone quite like it again. I really can't. I think this phone was a big mistake - Nokia/Maemo gave people too much, and some people haven't appreciated the beauty it. I'd be interested in knowing if the Maemo developers on MeeGo know whether we will get get all of this in MeeGo?

A Linux PC in your pocket? And people moan. C'mon guys. This thing will be sought after for years to come.

I have to say to the folks who developed this thing - well done guys, this is such an amazing thing. I am just so glad I got one.

Mish.
