Greetings all,

I started keeping an eye on here a few weeks ago when pondering the new-old "N900 or N8?" question.

I decided on the one with the keyboard and the Debian-based OS.

I'm a Linux geek for more than a decade now, but don't think Android was done the right way and don't trust anyone except Nokia to reliably build a complete phone hardware package at the moment.

Got my N900 when my ancient N95 broke its ribbon cable, and I haven't enjoyed a new device this much since I had a Qt-based Sharp Zaurus SL5500.

Fantastic to see such a busy forum, guys.

Already got my first life-saving tip:

"sudo apt-get install python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0" fixes a lot of Python apps like GRead, DropN900. Thank you noobmonkey!
