hard to talk about something that is not widely available...
specially since the north americans are getting bombarded by droid and iphonie ads...
if nokia doesnt step up the marketing game with n900 this phone will be remembered as "10 of the worst marketed best devices in history".

A fair point. I have yet to see the N900 mentioned anywhere offline.

This is getting ridiculous - xkcd is not a handset advertiser. Nobody knows what an N900 is and it's not even out yet!

xkcd does generally play up its geeky in-the-know sort of image, so not even mentioning the N900 is a bit odd.

Mind you, I'm biased.

Well actually in my head, I was hoping for something a little more like this:

On xkcd it could easily have been in the title text as
Or something. There's a reason I don't write a massively popular comic 
"With an N900 you could be restlessly producing your own app. And your own kernel."
