It is definitely a positive feature, and definitely saves power. It takes much less power to listen for a cell phone tower shouting "Hey, I've got something for you" than it does to ask the tower "Any email/SMS/IM updates for me" every five minutes. This will be at least 5 to 1, and probably much more.

Also note two things: N * number of active connections, and that you've just "deafened" all the other phones listening next to you. The latter is mostly a non-issue if you're all on the same tower, but if you're in a multi-network area like a biggish town or worse yet on a train rolling through a major city.

How do you think SMS messages are delivered?

A minor correction for future searchers:

Although its three predecessors' 800x480 screen yielded 225 pixels per inch resolution, the smaller display of the Nokia N900 means its resolution is closer to 267 ppi.

Nice quote from Jussi Makinen

"3gs if you like sugar water. N900 if you like fresh spring water "

But i think that is a wonderful comparision. The iphone is for the masses.. it is made so that people will like it and there is no changing sweet water... wheras the n900 can be used to make any sort of liquid you want!

This implies that we have a choice in the way we perceive the world, which is simply not true. We can only perceive the world in a way consistent with our current level of development regardless of what we 'choose'.

It's important to exercise patience with those earlier in devleopment or with different perspectives. I've found that snobbery (even subtle snobbery) is disempowering and hinders rather than helps the development of others.

YARR!

I agree -- maps need to be up to date. They also need to be complete. Openstreetmap is including more and more types of data, footpaths, bike lines, and pubs amongst them. Check out the following three links:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...,0.127373&z=13

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51...layers=B000FTF

http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=13...24&layers=B000 (OpenCycleMap builds on OpenStreetmap)

All three of these can be cached for offline use in MaemoMapper, and then you know (for example) which turn to take when you're biking in a place you've never been before.

I'm to cool for outdoors. And I'm not scared of gerbick.

Just kidding. Gerbick is cool. Just a little misunderstanding. We all have opinions. I'll focus on the n900 instead. That's my real love of the moment.
