I actually wouldn't mind having a "step 4" device, though there's a factor of uncertainty that makes me think twice about dishing out 500€ for it. Namely, will the "step 5" OS (presumably Harmattan) run on it and how long will it be "officially" supported?

The device itself is actually something desirable (aside from screen size and keyboard). It is just the for the future I'm worried about. I just bought the N810 early this year, and now I'm stuck with software that is no longer supported or developed (Mer is still quite raw). Getting the N810 was no easy thing. I don't want to repeat the experience a second time.

I think that the words of Anssi Vanjoki about the steps are very clumpsy. He didn't dedicate not too much time about the n900 and on this short period of time said this steps thing that sounds everything but a praise for a brand new product.

I understand that the platform is always getting better, there will be better products to come, etc but this comment was out of place IMHO,

Anyway, maemo5 and n900 are amazing

Indeed. If it's on the shelves, it's pretty much obsolete..

nokia.co.uk does at least know the n900 exists now:
http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products...#/main/landing

but no price or apparent way to place an order.

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900
http://danielwould.wordpress.com/witter

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
