Only thing I miss is a swap-enabled kernel - I still don't know how to get the sources and compile.
Hope today I ca shoot a video with an external cam.

For me, having this capability really set the N900 apart from all other devices. I think the nokia phones are well built, generally more innovative in design and, as a result, seemingly do more with less. On the other hand, the new androids are performing as well, or better, but by shear brute force with much faster processors and more RAM. So, while using the N900 has been a fun learning experience for me, the hardware is falling a bit behind the times and I'd like to get an upgrade. As far as I can tell, Samsung and HTC do not seem to have a problem with allowing root access on their phones so they may offer some good candidates in the near future. If the right device comes along (perhaps like the SGH I927) I'd like purchase it with the goal of making it, as much as possible, in the image of my N900.

Finally quit arguing with myself and bought a Transformer last night. Not nearly as portable as a 7", but I am liking it. Need to root it today so I can get on to other fun stuff with it.
