Also, wrt to a MeeGo N900 release ready for end users, well that depends a lot on the end users. Some things are extremely unlikely to come (No Flash). But if that doesn't bother you, then helping to make DE the best it can be by giving your own insight and reports from your own use cases, would be very valuable. DE is a very good step toward getting a N900 MeeGo based distribution end user ready. At least almost as ready as Maemo currently is for you on the N900. I'm sure there will always be things missing, but the benifits are 10 fold.
Aha. Got it. Thanks. Harmattan is to the n900 what Maemo 5 is to the n810. I'd love to test MeeGo on my n900, but am reluctant to try it until I have a device I can use instead of the n900 - because I rely on my n900 for a number of things, including keeping in touch with people in the UK on the phone, Skype & e-mail. This has been really helpful.
