Will it contain the same standard apps as for the N900? Maybe there might be some issues with those apps since the hardware will be completely different?
getting everything ported will be a lot of work. last i heard, some of the hardest showstoppers were reverse engineered, and it currently seems like it will be possible to do. that being said, there is a ton of porting to do and someone has to actually do it.

Also can you make it so the music stops playing when you unplug the headphone jack? That was a huge problem on the N900 and I embarassed myself today by pulling it out by accident...

However, making porting Maemo easy is one of the design goals of the project, so we expect Maemo 5 to be running on Neo900 without any bigger problems.

Of course you can make excellent use of a broken N900 with defect USB like this. And each single donation makes the device less expensive - again see rationale given in phase-V

have a N900 (with broken USB, but i guess that's irrelevant in that the USB is soldered to the board, thus "gets exchanged / fixed" in the upgrade) but i doubt my DIY skills. is it possible
- to send in my N900 and have a professional do the upgrade?

Will it still have the FM Transmitter and IR transmitter? I can't wait until it comes out!!! I don't know if I can afford it so much, but this is THE ONLY phone that appeals to me now...

The modem we are using is a module, not a chip. and we need to decide very early in R&D on which modem we want to support. We decided to use Gemalto7Cinterion P*S8 series[...]
