I had a total nerdgasm when I saw the picture on that site... After the hassle of rooting two G1's, to have that out of the box would be incredible! I am DEFINITELY upgrading to this when the end of my contract comes around... When's the expected release date?
The expected release date is by October in some select markets.
Expect to start seeing it globally by October end - November for sure.
At least it can be part of your holiday shopping.
And contract or no contract - think about going Unlocked for the N900.

Get it here by accepting the EULA and then go to:

Yeah, it's frustrating trying to explain the meaning of "root" to non-penguins. But yeah, I'm glad I'm still on T-Mobile, and it's a good thing my contract is up in February (upgrade time!). It's so hard to express my excitement towards this device in a logical manner on this forum, I just want to be all like, "WAWAWAWAWA~!!!!!!OMGOMG!!!ICAN'TWAITOMGITWILLBESO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!"... but I can't without getting a gtfo from everyone here. Also, I'm so glad they chose to stay with a resistive screen O_O Capacitive is awesome and all that, but for an actual computer (unlike iphone :P) you need more control (Hello, GIMP!). Sorry if I'm ranting, I'm just exited. =)
