Obligatory warning! Additionally, if you brick your device now while the firmware images aren't public yet cannot restore the device until these firmware images are available.
Your device might also not work (well) potentially leaving you with a device without GSM/GPRS, impacting your communication abilities, leaving you without possibility calling emergency services.

Not much meat on my dog, and those other effects hold no fears for me.
I realise that the firmware flash isn't out yet (I read that bit) but neither is my n900.
I have this suspicion that one of the possible hold-ups on the release is making sure that the firmware is ready to go live too. At that point, include me in for testing. I looked at the respository, because the list just gives names, and I wantd to see what sort of apps we could be talking about.

Yeah, I can't figure out why they didn't use the same, and much better, screen that the iPhone have. I bet they will on the next version though.

official Qt won't help symbian applications to get to Maemo as there IS NO significant amount of symbian Qt apps at this point.

They made it good enough where I don't see how it matters so much. You have the best of both worlds.
So you didn't like the screen when you played with the device?

Same here..
..but we must not forget the innocent bystander who reads [such] post and goes rampant, only to say 'why didn't you tell me Ben'.
Although the advice has also different value for extras-testing than extras-devel.

Here are 2 recent poor experiences with the n900:
-bbc iplayer from the browser is unwatchable
- the Vimeo video from the browsers is unwatchable
Could be pre-release firmware issues, software not optimized or simply too process intensive for the phone. Something to re-test on the final firnware I guess

like the iphone i guess plays when trying to play a bbc iplayer video?
is this similar to the youtube issue? On my n800 if I play utube videos from the browser it looks horrible, but if I do so through a youtube client it looks perfect.

Kathy, this is all your fault. Now I just had to spend 2.5h installing the darned SDK to get to play with the GUI. Geez...
And guess what I'll be doing the whole night? Yeah, that's right... playing with it.
