Was very well made (although a bit too thick!) but it was a nice experience....and I was looking forward to great software to come....but I must say I was disappointed!

Fist of all, they dropped Maemo...(my £500 N900 became obsolete only after a few months of introduction!!!!!), although they did issue a rather poor update in PR1.2, with missing voice guided OVI Maps Nokia promised...just to name one of the many promises they broke!!!

Then, to add insult to injury...they announced that there would not be an official Meego build for N900....that was a really clever decision Nokia!!!

The only thing that's keeping the N900 going is the Maemo.org community as Nokia have sadly abandoned its loyal fans....so well done and thank you Maemo community...and sadly bye bye Nokia as I've opted for an Android phone...it's a much more exciting and fun OS albeit not as powerful as Maemo!

Good bye for now...Ash
I am in the exact same position as you though my first Nokia was in 2000. I have never had any phone other than Nokia but N900 is looking like my last. Nokia is lagging too far behind and with so many amazing Android phones coming out like every other day the times of picking your devices simply on fanboyism (which is what I have always done - pick the best Nokia available) are a thing of the past. However, it is not the software support (no n900 maemo 6/meego update) and poor devices (n97) that has finally done it for me it is the lack of customer support - their refusing to fix the usb port on my N900 on the basis that they do not do international warranties).
