I'm going to be a n900 user in the near future (just waiting on shipping). I'm coming over (at least temporarily) from Android phones. I love the tight Android integration, but I bought a Milestone (GSM version of the original Droid) and the bootloader is locked (something that wasn't know when I bought it). That means I'm 100% dependent on Motorola's updates, and lets just say they're "tardy" in providing them.

I just couldn't find any Android hardware that appeals right now, so, I decided to give Maemo a chance. The n900 seemed like a cost-efficient option.

I'm a big fan of open source software and run Fedora at home. I'm both used to the frustration and fun available from fiddling with an open source option.
If you are familiar with Fedora you made the right choice

N900 is a computer with a phone and not a phone with computer functionality...........

By the way, there is a project called NITDroid (an open source version of Android for N900).

I have installed it and runs very fine (at the moment don't have phone functionality, you don't make calls but just wait.........)

sorry i forgot........Welcome !
