I got it because I wanted a portable computer that I could take anywhere and that could also take calls.
Really, a cell phone is somewhat secondary for me because I can't take it in where I work anyways, so I wanted it as a secondary function to another device. I'll probably use my N900 more as a computer than I will as a cell phone.
Wanted something to browse this Forum all day on. Cant think of a better mobile browser at the moment.

I don't think the N900 and Maemo is quite mature enough, though I think it will get there eventually - maybe in 2 years time (I think more than one manufacturer needs to produce Maemo devices for this to be really viable though).

It worked well for S60 all those years, and is working for Apple and RIM so far. More would help, though...
I got the N900 because I've dreamed of having a pocketable laptop until I tried the OQO. Then I knew we'd need a custom UI to make it a reality. The full Linux OS, free open source alternatives to popular software, always on connectivity, open platform access for developers, and a great camera were all I'd need to make my dreams come true.
Now I'm walking around with a finger controlled pocketable workstation, and I couldn't be happier.

none of, your business |

A bit longer version: the fruit themed gadgets make the user feel like an idiot (because of the ridiculous amount of pampering "we know what is good for you, we know all your needs"-rubbish and artificial limitations), Google's watchful eye has no business getting to my bedroom (but my communication device has, which is why the two cannot exist in the same entity) and my Windows allergy has been getting worse all the time, so the options were spread rather thin... Blackberries are almost impossible to get here, I might have ended up with a Storm, but then again the 5800 XM felt so cozy all the time I had it that it had to be a Nokia. And it so happens that Nokia has one device in its portfolio that I needed: the most open phone/MID/tablet/mobile computer on the market, the N900. I love it more day by day.
