Even the finest phone is not the N900 itself.
Even the finest description is insufficient to define it.
Not through words and pictures can the N900 be experienced,
but once in hand, the N900 can be truly known.
-- Lao Tzu

Ordained Catholic priest and monk Thomas Merton said:
“The only way to get rid of misconceptions about the N900 is to experience it. One who does not actually know, in his own life, the nature of this Maemo breakthrough and this new level of phone functionality cannot help being misled by most of the things that are said about it. For Maemo 5 cannot be simply talked about. It cannot even be clearly explained to those who haven't experienced it. It must be lived to be understood. The more one tries to analyze it from a distance, the more he empties it of its real beauty, for the N900 experience is beyond the reach of verbalization and of rationalization.“ - from New Seeds of Contemplation

I'm getting in on this:
"I've seen enough things to know that if you just keep on going, if you turn the corner, and see a Nokia N900, the sun will be shining."
"I've seen too much in life to give up, the N900 is just around the corner"
"My ministry's always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels be involved in social networking, and for this there is no better tool than the Nokia N900."
-- Al Sharpton
Al Sharpton was ordained at the age of 9 and has been delivering these words of wisdom ever since.
DISCLAIMER: The previous quotes may not be entirely accurate in reference to how The Reverend originally delivered them.
