Ok I know the aesthetic is polarizing but you have to be excited about a real Linux mobile computer of this build quality. I can't think of any other OEM linux computing platform with this level of fit and finish and quality. Android IMHO does not count as "real Linux", it is just Linux the kernel, not Linux the open source eco-system.
I am definitely in love with the idea of another linux mobile computer like the N900, but I'll probably skip this generation and wait for the 2nd gen MeeGo device since I'll have MeeGo on my old N900.

Now Nokia needs to make laptops running Meego with the same level of fit and finish.

With that high resolution I want to have actual windows which I can see at the same time.
That is nearly not possible with the Netbook UI.
With other UIs it is okay, though.
ATM I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. (because MeeGo is not usable for day-to-day usage yet.)
And btw . I've nothing to add to the fight club comment. ;-)

What I'm really worried about is the launch date. I'm thinking that for the whole Christmas holiday, I'm going to be on the phone for hours with nokia reps. It's gonna be a lame holiday.

Uh no. I'm not worrying about the phone being finished. Im worrying about going through the whole stupid nokia preorder/release date thing that I already did with the N97 and N900.

Ah gotcha.
Yea that was ridiculous! I was on the edge of my seat for quite a while last year as the N900 launch was delayed, delayed again, and delayed some more.

When will Nokia start pre-orders? NokiaWorld? October with MeeGo 1.1 release? All the worries I had about whether Nokia gives a f*** are all but gone. They definetley realize the urgency of getting the N9 flagship out before Christmas.
Rumour is that there would be all black version too.
