Gee, Samsung sells 800,000 into the Korean market, one that even Apple had a hard time getting into. Go figure.

Linux is the major reason I bought the N900 despite the HD2 being available. Windows Mobile isn't nearly as hackable, and the things I've done with it would be impossible (due to its crap unicode handling.)

you could search on youtube if you wanna see more, it's pretty nice, you can even make calls on ubuntu, but the sound is a work in progress.
Notice that 3D is still completely broken due to the way Android requires custom user-space libraries for 3D that aren't at all compatible with Xorg.

I'm still amused at how many pro-Android posters still roll around us trying to suggest we're wrong for not using it, because all the other kids do. Or something.
