Umm... I don't get what you say... Maemo is already out dude... Not sure what time you are living in! lol
jk
But please tell me what you mean buy "installing Maemo once it's out"

Wasn't Maemo on your device when you bought it?

Aha, OK! :D

I think you can remove all the applications... But do you really need to do so? The device will be formatted in the right way once you install the next firmware...

Wait... Do you mean you want to install MeeGo itself, or you want to install PR 1.3 once it's out, which will let you dual boot Maemo and MeeGo?

well i installed the PR1.3 leaked and i did hope that it will remove everything, but still, i have most of the settings and a lot of other files and stuff from my older 1.2. i will a complete new system and i have too many stuff flying around on that device. dont like the mess

Why don't you search for N900 eMMC flashing?
Fiasco is OS
Vanilla is eMMC

Flash both will result in blank device. How is that hard to look for? there are countless thread about this on the forum.

I think that's how the leaked version is... I remember when I upgraded my firmware to PR 1.2, everything was removed... (On the device, I mean, you can create backups on micro SD)

you dont get the point. there is no sentence that says "it will completely remove everything on your device". now where we know that fiasco and vanilla stuff are required, we could google that by ourself (i guess)
