Should be possible to port Nitdroid to the N900...
I'm not holding my breath, but if it does happen, I guess it will be something that just comes up with an working open beta out of the blue..

I know it's possible to do.. I just don't see why...
May as well get a cheaper Android phone that has nearly identical hardware and have android actually be optimized for it..

The droid has nearly identical hardware.. just a rather crappy keyboard... for much less than an N900.

But what if someone already has an N900? Is getting another phone to try Android really worth it?

It would probably be better to ask a friend to let them play with their phone for a bit to see if you like it.

Looks like someone has ported Android to the N900
Now we just need to get VMWare to release the ARM software they demoed on the N800 a while back, and you could run both (and Ubuntu-ARM and/or Mer) at the same time.
