Hi

This is my first posting on these forums. I have actually just ordered an N900 today. And I am pretty aware that the N900 is pretty much at EOL. However I have been following the N900 since it's first release and despite its rocky history and unsure future it is still really the only phone I would consider buying at the moment. (The only other candidate for me was possibly the Google Nexus S - but that won't be available at a decent price point in Australia for some time and the N8 at a stretch)

The things I have considered whilst making my decision

* Despite N900's lack of ongoing support from Nokia, I recognise a very valuable N900 community
* Its one of the few open platforms I can pretty much do what I want with.
* I am an experienced linux/solaris developer, so I understand what I am in for, (though only played with mobile platforms, series 60, android emulator)
* Opportunity to play with Meego (yes I realize full support will never be there).
* Most of my paid development work is python, so any platform supporting it gets my vote ;-)

My original N95 is now pretty long in the tooth and now is the time to replace it, so I find the N900 is still attractive for me ;-)

Just my 2c

See ya
