Neat thing, similar to our easydebian but I hope it can also be hacked to run without the dock, it would be neater

I'd say that's quite apparent already with Maemo/MeeGo, Symbian and webOS all biting the dust in an increasingly dumbed-down market.
there is one app that list all of the 1000s of radio channel and another app that shows only the good channels picked from the 1000s of radio channels about the music you like. Which one will you pick? to put it differently Nokia's got the first app, iphone's got the second. thats why apple can charge $650 for a $180 dollar phone.
So if you want the first app, hopefully nokia still wants to satisfy you, the 1%, who is happy with app that show 1000s of channels of garbage, i mean online radio, for you to pick from so you can spend most of your time picking and it may even loose your favorites when you update.

EDIT: i got a $100 for that little glitch. None of those phones have Nokia HW except symbian. And where we at, Symbian Belle still lacks a fast browser. You dont see a Symbian Belle (any phone) Vs SGSII videos on youtube, Do you? There are L900 vs SGSII and L900 Vs Iphone 4s. go check it out.

It's last years hardware at best and you will have to live with it for 2 years at least, that's a sweet deal you got for yourself. and in what aspect is nokia HW superior than their competitors?? I used to see Symbian vs other phones but then elop took a MS to the pocket and announced it will go WP so there is no value in reviewing a dead product.

The N900 may have offered more features but frankly, it sucked as a phone, choking when there's an incoming call.
The UI is well thought out really, best there is right now, it's not a standard looking OS but anyone I've handed the device to could explore it easily, whereas with the N950 I had to explain swiping.
As for what's under the hood, there's not much, multitasking is suspending and resuming the apps, it even says resuming at times even with the 1.4GHz CPU, probably due to an IO bottleneck.
For the average consumer it's a good device all in all, for most Maemo power users, it's probably something you'll not want to get.
BTW, WP7 is a strong comeback really, WM sucked a lot compared to it
