I'm a bit of a techie and so was very intrigued with maemo back in the day. It, at the time, looked like it had a bright future but I digress. The community still looks very solid & supportive now, and there must be some reason behind that.

I also liked the openness of the n900 hardware, but these are all things that I've read about on paper and never really experienced, save for a jailbroken ipad.

In short, finally getting something that I'd wanted a while back coupled with the fact that I've been using a touch & querty featurephone for the past year, which I'm used to, is the reason I'm considering the n900.

I'm just worried about whether I'll be having significant lags or feel relatively outdated when I get it.
