Today is my birthday, and I'm going to finally purchase the n900. I have been saving and scoping out online stores for roughly six months. The other guys at uni have told me countless times to 'stop talking about a phone you don't even own'. I'm in my final year of my CompSci degree and plan on using the n900 to its fullest (dev'ing for Qt, remote control of my home servers and hosting servers, etc etc). I live in Melbourne, Australia and there are very few in-store retailers that stock the n900 for me to even just hold, but I found a harvey-norman that had one in stock albeit uncharged and I just drooled over the keyboard.
Well, I don't have much more to say but to tell you guys that I will soon be feverishly posting in the developer threads and fingers crossed make some apps for the n900 that the ovi store could be proud of.
Cheers
Edit:
Man it's almost 150Ausie dollars difference!

Here in NZ is $824NZD, 1NZD = $0.78AUS.
824 New Zealand dollars = 665.415679 Australian dollars.
If you interested buddy, I'll help you out.

Dude you sound like the ideal candidate for the N900 ! Get this phone as no other phone on the market compares.
Have fun with it !
But one suggestion But honestly if I were you I will buy it second hand from some other disappointed user in AU or overseas to save a bunch - If you are going to use the N900 to its "fullest", I assume you WILL be overclocking, and this voids the warranty anyway so you might as well not pay for the warranty.

Cheers heaps man for the assist, but I'm grabbing it through http://www.mobileciti.com.au, where they have Australian stock, express post, and good feed-back on whirlpool.
$678
I wouldn't buy it from Harvey unless I was doing interest free, as they are always one of the most expensive retailers.
$799
And I think it was April that nokia released for Australian stock, yet besides Harvey no-one has it 'in store', they offer it through their online portal. I just like Harvey for going in and trying things out.
Cheers heaps again for the offer and the help
