The wierd thing about the N900 is that its running a pc like OS on a phone like hardware, hopefully it wont confuse consumers and end up emulating the recent failure of Linux on low end laptops.
Had they shipped Debian stable with the Maemo interface and KDE apps, things would be looking a lot different now.

I was just watching some Planet Earth last night. Ask an Emperor Penguin how nice life is without walls. Or ask your neighbors.
What a dumb a*s marketing phrase.

Anyone else think that Eldar's threat to post a FAQ was an attempt to extort something (more) from Nokia?

New pic! http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/n...ed-press-shot/
Looks like there's a front camera and maybe proximity and ambient sensors.

I didn't see that the booklet had WCDMA so my apologies if my comment was a red herring.
Also sorry for the OT-- didn't realize what thread I was in when I replied to the other post.
