Well, I have always been somewhat an enthusiast in the mobile area - although I haven't and still don't consider myself a "fan" nor a "fanboy" of anything.
A few years ago when I took a look at the then-new (deleted since then) nseries.com site, I spotted an interesting thing - the N800.
Actually I didn't purchase one at the end, because I couldn't find good use for it at the time. In the end, I just bought an N95 and had a good time with it.

After using the N95 for a few years, I haven't felt the need for anything new - the N95 was such a brilliant device at the time that it could do anything. When the touchscreen hype came, most of the products were rather bloatware than actually useful or better in any way.
Although, when I saw the first articles about the N900 on the net, I immediately knew that I'm going to have one!
I waited till I could acquire one for a fair used price. I'm rather a practical person, so I don't mind if a device have been used by someone else if I can get it for 2/3 of the new price.

Nah, at first I just wanted the N900 to do generic stuff.

You know, music, multimedia, web browsing, MSN/Skype, and so on.
But I'm also a software developer who is infinitely curious - so, I started to do some little research about development.
Since Qt was "the next big thing" at Nokia, I started off with that - now I also use some more platform-specific libraries alongside Qt.

I also very much like this community.

In august, I came here and read quite a few stuff - everything was very interesting. I definitely wanted to be part of the community.

I started off with a learning project that is still not complete. In the meanwhile, my first usable app (Sticky Notes) has just been released last week.

I also must say a very big thanks to w00t - without his help, I would most probably still be stuck with the basics.
He is a good person who just helped with every random question I had. I also admire his patience and the fact that he didn't get pissed off even when I bombarded him with questions on IRC all day.
I can only hope that I can return the favor sometime in the future.

To my surprise, the app was found useful than more people than I expected - also there are great ideas flowing in from the users.

I pretty much like my users and it is a great feeling for me to create something that can be of use to others, or make their lives (even if just a little bit) easier.

All in all, I pretty much enjoy being part of this community and I definitlely hope that it will still be present for a long time.

Side note:
The only thing I don't like is trolls here.
However, I learned to live with them - I help out newbies if I can, while still figting against trolling in an educated, polite manner.

This post got a little long - sorry for that.
