So, is it fatal allergy to cellular connectivity (which you do not have to use btw) or is that Kindle hypnotizing you daily, as you go to bed?
To me, money is important, and electronics is supposed to be getting cheaper. I paid $400 for my N800 and that's about as far as I'm willing to go at this time.
I like electronic devices that are (a) cool, and (b) cheap. If I wanted cool and expensive, I suppose I would be in the Apple camp.

What I find interesting is the call-type selector. If this means you can switch between cellular/SIP/skype/etc with a flick of a button (=use the same interface for ALL contacts regardless of *their* connectivity)
that would be really nice (I daresay revolutionary).

You might be right. Else, there would be no need to have an alpha-numeric keyboard there ;-)

where are the green and red "answer-call" and "end-call" buttons???
they must be on the right side.. or simply only software buttons???
touch-sensitive-buttons like the n97???
Saying that, i still expect to see touch-sensitive-buttons somewhere.

1. Is that Jaffa's 'Attitude' app? Makes you wonder....
However, it does show that renaming the app to start with "A" was a good idea :-)

Skype should be doable if the bastardized mobile version we're getting does not lack the DBUS code (as you can control skype via DBUS on the desktop version).

Did anyone notice on the "activate views" image in the review, it seems that N900 will have up to 4 desktops

Thus far I'm very excited, and glad to see a screenshot of the calendar!
They don't want developers to review the device. They want tech enthusiasts to review the device first. Developers are too critical; you don't want their reviews popping up first. So the chance for sponsored devices on the Maemo summit still exists. Personally, I more like some kind of 'coupe' deal because it means a barrier from the receiving party too.
Non-SIMlocked phones will be available at least in Greece, and probably also in Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. For Greece I am positive it is also unbranded.
This Maemo version will be much better in terms of integration because of stuff like UPnP, iCal and all kind of under the hood. Tons of abstraction layers. For developers (assuming they are willing) this opens a lot of doors to integration like the one outlined above, and given the source is open they can even write patches to the original code (e.g. UI) to submit these to Nokia.
).
Although it thoroughly pisses me off to hear some stupid kids playing some strange, loud music while I'm getting...err trying to get rest due to a long travel.

I wouldnt knock HTC, they make good stuff but has always been let down by WM.
The latest stuff with Android is very good and the sense UI is a good experience, they just need to expand on the Android based hardware.
I can see myself dual booting the N900 with Maemo/ Android at some point.

I was not happy with volume levels for N800 or N810, especially the latter. I could rarely make out the GPS verbal instructions most of the time over road noise alone. I was informed that the N800 was capable of higher volume but it had been intentionally limited. Never got a good answer as to why though.
I just hope the next device is capable of being louder-- let ME decide if it's too loud and turn the volume down myself.
