N900 has been relegated to second-class behind Android because it dropped to being only 43% opened (seems to be on-par with Android) but has far fewer useful applications.

Sorry but--I didn't settle for second-best. I avoided it after learning from my N800 experiences with Nokia. I just hope that someday I can actually have a *REAL* Linux computer in my pocket running a fully (or at least VERY, VERY) open operating system. Until then, Nokia's products haven't got any tangible advantage to consumers and hackers alike.

Nice Comment man !

"a *REAL* Linux computer in my pocket"

thats why i bought my n900, I had a DREAM of a FULL Linux computer in my pocket,....but....................

If Nokia had a *shred* of decency at this stage it wouldn't just cut loose the n900 owners as it has done, it would thow them the life ring of OPENING UP ITS DRIVERS THEN we could have REAL linux in our pocket ....after all thats the dream Nokia MIS-SOLD me......again I have to laugh at all the "hackers" and people who enjoys the n900's "freedom" on here..........

But Nokia, driven by the suits and bean counters will give *NOTHING* to the LOYAL nokia fans who bought the n900, I bought every Nokia "uber phone" in the last 12 years, the n900 is my last however ( I owned Every Nokia Communicator series.....yes the foldable greyscale brick in your pocket with the extendable Aeriel !!!).
