Correct. The N900 is what I want... a mobile computer with a minimal phone.

For me Nokia's useless customer services and the usb port issue and the millions of bugs in the N900 made me decide months ago that I would never buy a Nokia phone again.
Customer service??? Why would I want to deal with customer service(of any company?)??? The product works. If it doesn't it gets returned. And so far the only times the N900 failed in any way was due to my own messing around.

However, I started getting into the modifications you can do on the N900 and got really addicted to it. So if Nokia releases a meego phone as open as the N900 that will be my next phone. Unless someone other than Nokia releases a very open phone then I would get that instead. Would likey be less buggy and there would probably be better customer services.
Again what does customer service have to do with you using the device? If you are unable to then don't buy it. If you have issues with the device that go beyond mere read the manual return it.

As for meego no thanks. That's a phone centric UX. Totaly useless for any serious work(personally). I'm hopping someone will make a m5 like UX for it sometime.

If no one comes up with a very open meego device then will go for a HTC android phone. Don't think you can go wrong with that.
Suurrreee. Someone at work got it. They wanted to connect to IMAP and AUTH smtp server and exchange... Guess what the default mail app from that specific device(updated to the latest droid) is BROKEN. It is incapable of doing SMTP AUTH and fails to connect to exchange. So in other words USELESS.

Gotta love devices like that ;) For me N900 and I might save up some more cash for a second one. Though considering I was using a nokia 5110 for 6 years and had no probs I doubt it'll be an issue. Nokia builds these things to last. They could use some better people for the software though.
