My N900 is hopefully in the mail. I've been waiting for 6 months, browsing the forums, bookmarking apps I'm planning to download, and trying to learn the ups and downs of this phone, sorry: mobile compuutah. And now I could finally afford it.

Sometimes I get worried. There's a lot of complaints and bug reporting. But then there seems to be a lot of commitment as well. (Though maybe not from Nokia.) I think it will be OK... I'm not totally unfamiliar with terminal stuff and some basic editing - I did play around with my older brother's C64 when I was a kid (20 years ago) and that taught me to think "computer" - but I have not been keeping up to date with programming since people started using PC's. The moral of this story? I guess I am just thinking out loud.

I think the open source community is clever and interesting and I am sometimes tempted to investigate all of these languages/platforms/systems people are talking about, like debian, Qt and what-have-you. But I don't think I have the time to become a real contributor... not before all the h4xxors have already moved on to the next generation. (Any female coders out there at all?)

I am looking forward to a stable psx4all to play FFIX, gonna try and find a 64emu for nostalgia. Other than that, I mostly need a calendar. An expensive, colorful calendar.

So that's a little about me, device-wise. (Oh, yes, I'm currently using a borrowed X1 and I can't stand Windows Mobile.)

Hopefully I'll get the phone sorry, mobile compu-blah, after the weekend. And then I can start the painful head-against-the-wall-banging customization process.

Cheers from Sweden,

Edit: Got it. Feel more plastic than I imagined. The X1 certainly has a more expensive feel and sturdy keyboard. But I love the crisp screen and that it plays standard video formats.
