Good to see there are some dedicated people out there. However, I'm still not interested in Android.
My point was about what the OP said:
"...Maemo OS - threw it to the trashcan and installed mobile world's hottest OS - Android 2.2."
...and that as far as I'm concerned it was a step backward, replacing a fine OS with an (to me) inferior one. I just felt it was an unfair opinion, not a fact yet stated as one.
Anyway, as I already made clear I'm not interested in Android either, not even to dual-boot.

MeeGo has a lot of potential but now we have to wait yet again for a new os to become stable and mature.

As an addendum to gerbick's response. For developers, people who like to tinker, etc..
but its OK I didn't really expect anyone to step up to it.

For me Android on the N900 is interesting and not something I want to move to. I think that if you want Android, it would be easier to simply get a phone with Android as the default OS?

The problem with getting an Android phone is the landmine field. Which is a shame since it really shouldn't be.
You have to ask. Is the device going get a firmware update. Which is dependent on the carrier and/or manufacturer. It's not something where you just take an image or download it when Google releases it. Some devices out there will never get an update sadly. The alternative is to find a device with a community set around hacking it (usually the big popular ones like Droid, Evo 4, etc..)
It's kinda weird to think the N900 is closer to running Froyo than most Android phones will ever be.

Heh, I didn't say Flash is not 10.1... What exactly should I measure? The MySpace "Install Flash 10.1" rectangle? Or maybe some Youtube loading screens since not a single video there worked?
The sound was not problematic in 770 - there was only one speaker and it tried to work on two. It was perfectly working with headphones.
Anyway, have to run, no time for more pointless trolling.

I remember stuttery sound on the 770. But that was some long time ago. I also remember sound being problematic on the 770 via OS2007HE or OS2008HE as well. So, that's an official release with horrible sound. Expecting a hacked OS to have sound is a leap of faith that would pure folly to believe otherwise.
