New user here.
Thinking about buying the N900.
Would it be a good idea? Guess there still will be some community support and stuff?
If you want a cool smartphone... no.
If you have to ask, the answer is probably not.

Can't wait. Over a year on and nobody can make a phone to match. Anyone wanting to buy a 2 week old n8 pm me. It's really crap though.
A TMO based campain to have the closed parts of maemo opened so we can finally polish the n900...

I picked up an Orange San Franscisco / ZTE Blade last week when in London. Cost me 90 quid on "pay as you go" for an android device with 3.5" capacitive screen, 600mhz processor etc etc.
With the help of the active user forums I quickly unlocked it, blasted off the orange bloatware and upgraded to vanilla Android 2.2.

What was originally meant to be a "90 quid, lets just take a look" purchase has now replaced my n900 as my full time device. I guess with today's announcement, there will be no turning back.
The king is dead, long live the king.
