I posted yesterday that I wouldn't be.

Scrub that - I am now suffering very serious gadgetlustm and did not get any sensible work down after I found out at lunchtime

Wondering how much I would get for a few shifts entertaining sailors down the docks!

True, but I meant the GV more for when I don't dial people I usually don't call (which is rare). Most of the minutes used on my family plan I'm on right now is by my mother (its shared by my mother, my sister, and I). So even if they banned GV it wouldn't be a huge loss considering I rarely used the minutes to begin with.

And true Sprint is nice with their upgrading ability. I just don't upgrade phones often (actually I just usually use the dirt cheap free phones you get when you subscribe). My upcoming next plan is likely to be my first smartphone. Whether it be the n900/Android/iPhone. I don't think Sprint has anything now that interests me besides the Pre..

A week ago I would have said that I will not be buying. (I just bought an N810 two months ago.)

After seeing the product demos here, I am more excited about the N900 than any computing product I have seen announced in the last year, and I will definitely be buying it (as well as signing up for T-Mobile 3-g)!

Absolutely must have this device!!! For me, Nokia hit a home run with this product. It looks perfect. (I'll take it over an iPhone any time.)

Ditto for me ...

I follow maemo start with sacrifice I bought my first Nokia 770 and then got through a discount I bought also the N810.
The introductory price of Nokia n900 (being a student) does not allow me to buy it immediately without discount maemo,although I would love to own it

I'm on the fence. Can I afford it? Yes. Would I need to deal with contract issues? No. Would I really WANT to spend $700 (supposedly) on an IT with a phone (which is basically what it is), I'm not all that sure. Would it be convenient to not have to tether to get an internet connection? Yep.

I like the demo but honestly I look at what I use my N800 for and for me I don't need all that. I won't be editing movies or photos on it, podcasts work just fine with my current setup, so does GV, Pidgin etc.

The biggest issue for me right now is that apps are going to go fremantle only soon after this comes out and I'll be stuck with stuff with no improvements at all.

In the end I may end up getting an 810 so that I can get the KB, which I want, and the built in GPS which is convenient.

If it goes on sale for $500 US I will probably bite since I did pay a combined ~500 on the n800 taking into account the external GPS, External KB, Extra battery, SD cards and a phone I could tether with. Getting the N900 would account for GPS, KB and phone costs, but not at 7 bills.

Want it without the phone. And better yet with some version of a wireless wide area lan capablilty.

Demo looked cool, but still won't be getting one anytime soon.

Still think the screen will be too small, don't need a phone. Zooming by swirling my finger? Looked hard to get the right spot. I'd much rather have hard buttons. Too expensive. Too many "cool, look at this" features that wouldn't get used often if ever, probably would end up being annoying.

I've been on the fence between an iPhone or an Android phone for the last couple months, now there's a third phone! Damnit!!!

I selected other: I'll be waiting with my trusty N810 until N900's price gets around 300€, even if it takes years.
