Good review of the N900. I'd like to add a few comments:

- Nokia clearly has dropped development effort on this phone within a few months after its introduction. I will keep that in mind when buying my next phone.

- you skip over the awsome possibilities of this being a Linux phone, with a bash shell, ssh and all the other opportunities of connecting to other hosts and vice versa. Like e.g. logging into your phone from MS-windows with Putty, or controlling other hosts from the N900. That is what I bought it for! And I am not disappointed.

- regardless the wiki, I think that the documentation sucks. I feel that there are any number of improvements and hacks possible, if I only knew where to find the relevant information (FYI, I program for Unix systems since 1993).

- Oh, and this forum sucks too. There is a *lot* of information on these pages, but it is organized badly, and not really serchable.

Paai
