And the key question: do you have a fully functional Linux running on it? There are a lot of MIDs that have been designed for the Windows market, but the Nokia tablets + maemo appear to me to be the most polished Linux devices to date. I am eager, however, to see what Intel + Moblin delivers.

I have an OQO 02 with a 1.6GHz Via C7M processor, 1GB of RAM, a 32GB SSD, and an internal EVDO card linked to the Sprint 3G network. It has a 5" display with native resolution of 800x480 and interpolated zooms of 1000x600 and 1200x720. It supports an external display via VGA or HDMI connectors of up to 1920x1200. It uses an active Wacom digitizer for pen input, a TrackStick for mouse movement, and has what is considered by the press one of the best thumb keyboards ever. It's 5.6x3.3x1.0" and weighs a bit less than 1 pound. It came with Windows Vista Business and I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate. My main apps are MS Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Lotus Notes, and Firefox. It cost a fortune two years ago and despite being a technological wonder the company that made them went bankrupt because only techies bought them.

My N810 was intended to replace my aging Palm TX. The N900 would allow me to replace my Palm and my phone. I'm keeping my pocket rocket computer till it dies.

I think I opened a can of worms. haha... we should probably have posted these in the thread that asked about slogans.

N900 - Shaken, not Stirred.

"N900. Because girls don't like guys that pinch."

Already said that and at least we aren't arguing about anything--all in good laughs. Though it's funny how someone finally mentions that about some of these longer paged topics. Now if there were only an option to move... posts like there is for threads.

And we could always say that these are slogans catered to Joe Average which relates to the topic. ;) :D

Think of it this way, if you don't have a tag line or a visual icon, Joe Average will loose you in the general miasma of smartphone ads. Apple is the only company that can live with a self-referential "best iPhone yet" tag. You want as much mindshare as the Palm Pre woman (or at least the Android robot) have.

Forget James Bond, maybe Nokia could convince George Lucas that he loves the N900 and then he'd allow Yoda to be the spokesthing.

N900 - phone and internet it is.
