This is what I've been dreaming of for years!
I truly is a Computer in your pocket.
Not only do I have the Maemo OS installed but Debian Linux as well through a chroot.
This means I can install any program I have available on my Desktop computer.
Now, if you are not a power user this may not be the phone for you.
If you are just looking for fun apps to kill time you may want to look into an Android phone.
But, if you are a harecore Linux user and you know what you are doing this phone is for you.
The powerful tools that you can use on this phone make it like having a netbook computer in your pocket.
I have had over 10 programs running at once and the phone still runs smooth.
The video quality is great. I've barely touch my video camera since I got this phone.
Need a modem for your computer? When you plug your N900 into your computer it asks if you want to connect in "Mass Storage Mode" or "PC Suite Mode". PC Suite mode will tether you phone to your computer. If you are running Linux on your desktop you will get a message asking who your carrier is. You pick your carrier from a list and you are connect to the Internet through your phone (I have not tried this on Windows or Mac). That's it, no hacking needed.
Once again, if you are not familiar with a Linux system this phone may be a little over your head.
But, if you are you can pretty much leave your netbook at home.Get more detail about Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty.
