Waiting patiently on expedited shipping of my N900 from newegg.ca
Been waiting so long for something like this.
Never used Maemo before though... but since it's Debian based, I think I might like it

I'm on Vancouver Island, BC. I pre-ordered mine through MobileCityOnline.com and received in on Monday (Dec 7). I'm on the Fido network and just moved over the SIM card from my Sony-Ericsson phone to the N900 and bingo, it works!
I do not have a Fido data plan and at Canadian prices, I won't be getting one. There are lots of WiFi hotspots around and the N900 seems to work very well on my WLAN.
However, the main reasons I got the N900 are:
1. Want to integrate my phone, Palm Pilot (now dead), Sansa Fuze music player, Garmin GPS and a farily decent always-with-me camera into ONE really solid device. WiFi is gravy.
2. Sony-Ericsson PDA features are terrible and the camera is pathetic. So this had to be replaced.
3. I liked the open development platform since I'm originally a software developer.
4. I don't like carriers locking/crippling my phone.
Hence...the N900.
Biggest likes so far...
- the screen is awesome
- the physical design quality is very good
Biggest gripe so far...
- the Maps app doesn't function without a data connection, which makes it pretty useless to me as a hiking/geocaching tool. Why not let me download and install all the maps for North American, like my Garmin?
Cheers!

I work right by the Eaton Centre, I'm getting it first.......
Though typing over ssh is responding in the second, you still get a feel the latency is not so good...
EDIT:
Now i got to fix my SIP/asterisk setup (can't here myself in the echo test) and then test over EDGE (it's going to be horrible haha
So i can call my echo test, here the message, type # to stop it, but it never hears me and thus send back anything... any idea?
(Yeah, i ll go check the asterisk thread
