I was a happy user of both N8xx models but I lost my last Maemo4 device and now on the one hand I am thinking in buy a N810 again, install all the software I had installed, including the linux distribution; easydebian.
and on the other hand I could move to a more advanced device such as N900, N9 is out of my scope because has no keyboard.

My question is,

do you think N900 can replace a Maemo4 internet tablet?
should I consider to have both devices at same time?

What about GarnetVM for emulate Palm applications;which I was using in N8xx?

Is possible to execute Nokia maps?
is there any way to emulate symbian apps?
what about java? (it was missing in Maemo4)

I would appreciate your ideas and suggestions, I would like to resist to move to Android but Nokia is not helping me...

Hola buenas.
I never used maemo 4 but i can get the ball rolling with what i know.
Nokia maps yes works well.. I think some ppl are working on 3d and voice support... But checkout sygic.

Java yes.. Jre works.. Some ppl are working on port j2me now.

Everything else.. I doubt works
but n900 has its own perks and very its a compitent phone..
U'll love it
saludos desde australia.

nokia n900 can replace n810 as long as you dont mind smaler screen, smaler keyboard and weak plastic thingie instead of that nice large metal "stand"

garnet works i think
for java you have oracle/sun j2se and openjdk(plus basic j2me)
nokia maps work although are a bit outdated
no symbian emulation

Thanks mates.. then N900 looks like a competent choice.

Other question, I will buy one from second hand market, is easy/cheap unlock one locked phone? or should I buy an expensive unlocked?

It is a pity Nokia chose the wrong way....

Un saludo!

We often see them go between £75 - £150 on ebay depending on condition. There was also a guy on the buy+sell board wanting offers for his UK model today.

Plus... With the N900 you will get to enjoy Preenv too. Gamey goodness

AFAIK, there are no sim-locked N900's in existence. You can use it with every operator You feel fancy.
