Same here, I'd recommend it to anyone who is willing to go through the effort to reap the rewards.

he got n900 1 hour ago

i wouldn't recommend n900 to anyone i know...
because i don't like to be bothered by them asking about how to use n900

if they like the n900, let them read more about it
probably i'll lend them my n900 & if they want to buy it, let them decide it by themselves

I like it too

If Nokia didnt jump into that MeeGo/Moblin stuff and continued to improve Maemo 5 and later on real Maemo 6 we all would see some damn good devices. Its hard to accept that they abandoned such a great OS without finishing it.

Yer the phrase "planned obsolescence" rings a bell with the N900.

I'd only recommend it to smart/techie people.

I wouldn't even recommend it to average techie people

I'm just surprised that, on the Maemo forum itself, only 55% of people voted yes...

I would not recommend this phone right now. You would think that Nokia would release some information regarding Meego or the N900 with this Google I/O conference going on. It seems that they have abandoned the device and are now focusing on the N8. No new information regarding the phone. And still no flash 10.1 or any info regarding it. They still sell the phone as if it is a mainstream device. No info regarding the now infamous pr1.2. They sure do know how to drum up support and leave you hanging. Sounds like blue balls to me. All the new phones coming out this year you would think Nokia wants to steal some thunder from HTC and Android or at least put some spotlight on their high-spec N900. Am I the only one that noticed try took frals work and on their website it doesn't say no MMS anymore? It comes with a note about receiving text messages and sizing. This is on the Nokia USA site regarding mms. I might never buy another Nokia device that costs more than $50. When you spend that much on a phone you don't expect much. But when you spend $600 you kinda expect a little much. The N8 is going to be their high end device and it might not cost that much. They give you the 12mp camera to throw you off the processor speed and the symbian OS. Can't believe they still use it.

No. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they are die-hard Linux users.

I would recommend it to the right friend. I love the little thing. But I also love the N800, N810 and the hp h5550 running familiar I used for several years. If one wants the best mobile platform for hacking, running free software, browsing the web and being constantly connected - the N900 is it. If you want a phone or you want a more complete multimedia experience, the N900 isn't there yet. So my wife probably gets an iPhone and my super nerdy friends get an N900. And I voted yes, just because I have plenty of friends that I would recommend the phone to.

I've tried but nobody was freaky enough for this great pleasure..
