damn! i don't know what will be my next phone. n9 is a sexy beast and you will really have a unique identity in the sea of ios and android. n950 is not bad either and the closest upgrade from n900 minus adobe flash, ir, and fm(?). htc doubleshot with a stable support...

But when the initial shock subsided and saw the first few videos, I began to warm to it, or at least suspend my doubts. A lot of what I loved on the N900 is still there: open source OS under the hood, seemingly excellent multitasking and browser.

Of course, there's a lot that left a sour taste in my mouth: no hardware keyboard, no real desktop, and a lot of missing hardware tidbits (FM transmitter, HDMI etc). It also seems less focused on power-usery, hacky stuff.

What remains to be seen is how hackable the device is. A slick UI does not preclude raw linux love, and if I can root it, hack it, and change it to my liking, if I see great open source, geeky apps in repositories, then I think I can love that phone. I have to see that UI up close and personal before I make conclusions though.

Frankly, I think that if there were no Maemo, if all we had to live by was android, ios, bb and webOS, we'd be having multiple geeky orgasms by now. I expect it to be the most hackable current OS bar none (excluding maemo of course).

The N900 has been a class of its own. Unfortunately, its awesome nerdiness means that it scarred the average customer away. If done well, a compromise between nerdiness and ease of use can make both equally correct and complete: you have a nice layer of smooth UI goodness on top, and an infinitely hackable OS chugging underneath. WebOS proved it can be done.

Edit: forgot to say, the only thing I definitely, absolutely hate with the heat of a thousand suns is the non-removable battery. Why? WHY?!
Why battery can't be removed? Design had higher priority. Naturally, care and maintenance centres know how to their job... nothing to worry.

TV Out means most probably the 3,5mm Multi-A/V out

What does USB Mass Storage mean? Use the phone as mass storage device or USB OTG?
