How about overlaying /usr with unionfs on the 2GB partition, then?
However, good software packages ought to be relocatable. Hardcoding file paths is so last century.

Why not mount /usr from a partition etched from the 32G?

/sbin, and /bin inits should be fine until the mounting can happen in the startup rigmarole. This leaves / for pure system stuff.

I'm sure there are a number of ways to deal with this.

Performance hit?

But yes, I'm sure this won't be a problem in the end...

Yeah, an aufs solution is definitely something we could work on from the community side. It's not really ready for a prime-time release on production Nokia software however.

Mainly because it requires extra effort at this late stage (e.g. unmount the union when applying an SSU) which isn't likely. /opt is a quick, dirty and hacky solution (which allows the problem to be pushed outside the release window) to the overlooked complete and utter fsck-up which is that no-one at Nokia thought about this more than 2 or 3 months before release.

+1.

For my own part the limitations of the Note function of my current SE phone has been one of my prime motivators for starting to look for another mobile phone and then becoming aware of the wonderful open maemo/N900 and its predecessors. So although it may be obvious to any current Symbian user, I would suggest that the excellent preview should confirm that notes is not limited in length and can be saved into a hierarchical structure.

Thanks a lot for all the effort involved in publishing this very informative and seemingly balanced preview!

Jerz:
"The only thing that worries me when it comes to N900 display is its resistence to scratches and other damages. And it seems to be quite poor. I got the device without any protective case and the display got some awful scratches in just one day, and that's only because some sand grains got into the pocket I kept it in. So a good screen protector or soft carrying case seem to be a must. OK, now..."

What brand screen protectors work well while not affecting screen clarity and sensitivity? I am complete newby in this...
I used invisible shield on Nokia E90, full body, www.zagg.com, works as advertised. I will definetly get one for the N900

Nope. I have found this info on few sites and thought that might be it. We can't know for sure until someone from apple confirms it. Which I doubt will evar happen.
Here is one example:

The original file mp4 is considerably better quality than the youtube version - even when watching HD.

Must say I am fairly impressed. Would love to see the first two videos in original format.
