Video calling works over Jabber. BlueTooth DUN works after a few simple config change.

I'm pretty sure that there will soon be some tethering available. Linux has already everything in place. Just the user interface is still missing.
The hardware for video calling is also there. If Skype doesn't want to implement video calling then gizmo or ekiga will do.

Linux desktop is different story.

Having had a quick look at the number of devices Nokia does, it seems they don't do any "mass market" devices, they do loads of separate devices for different markets, a different strategy to other players in the field.
As far as the N900 goes, as I said before if there was another choice I would have already bought it. There are loads of devices "similar" to the N900, but none that are in the same device class - I guess that is what makes it so good (for me) and such a emotional topic for all

It's not as much as is it unbelievable (because frankly any device will crash, even the "legendary" iPhone and "legendary stability" of OSX and Linux has crashed before), as to why it is occuring.
Hello to everyone, first post.
But of course you're not really talking of his previews...
You're commenting his tweets, where he says that a prototype crashes... and somehow you find this unbelievable, unrealistic, and want to know his hardware/software configuration...
I'm pretty sure even the final retail product will crash... and even more sure that future updates will reduce the number of crashes...
It's expected, it's normal... A user interested in a product like the N900 knows that a prototype is prone to crash... a user who doesn't understand/expect that, will probably not be the ideal target for the N900...
And I don't think anyone is "jealous" of anything, but I really don't get the reason for bashing Eldar...
He leaked a prototype? So what? Are we really so naive to be outraged? He speaks fairly highly of it, how does this damage the product?
PS:
Not really "taking sides", here... I just find that the bashing is really immotivated, and the whole "he won't tell the firmware/hardware" is basically irrilevant, given the nature of the negative aspects he points out...

Thank you for the welcome, Laughing Man...
Wanting to know why his device crashes "so often" is of course reasonable, but the tone of many posts in this thread is way too aggressive, even denigratory... it's just unjustified, in my opinion...

People do get hotheaded on the internet (I'm guilty of it myself at times). Though it also didn't help when Eldar came here with a somewhat elitist attitude.
But yeah I do wish we could take out all the aggressive or flaming posts.

Why is it so difficult to admit that the phone component of the N900 is NOT feature-complete?
I don't care about those missing features, you don't care either... but the fact still is that they ARE missing...
Understate they're importance doesn't make them "less missing"... and yes, there is a public who use, expect and pretend those features... saying "send mail instead of mms" or "use video chat instead of video call" is of no use...
Other OSes may miss them too, but that's not really an excuse...
