Hi everyone,

I got my N900 a couple weeks ago, traded my iPhone 3G for it. Best decision I've made. I'm so not used to being able to actually customize my device without voiding a warranty, it's kind of weird to be honest. I don't even know where to begin.

Hello!

I've been watching the forums for quite a while, even since before i got my n900 and love maemo.org and my n900!

Its simply fantastic and i know it will bring future opportunities such as more ported OS-es and/or virtual machines.

I heard alot of moaning from people already saying we dont have enaugh apps for maemo. Since it's not as mainstream and it's open-scourseness I find that prety logically, but since debian came up on N900 and other emulators as well, we might have a similar number of applications within reach than Iphone or Androids not too far in the future.

IMO: My N900 can do, 99% of what your rivalry phone can & more =)

Hi there

Thought I would say hi as I have had my N900 now for a month. Very impressed with it so far and having fun trying out some of the alterations you guys have posted in other threads.

I live in Staffordshire, England and have already added my pin to the map

Cheers

Hello everyone from Las Vegas!

So after owning an N810 since July of '08 and having gotten an N900 for Christmas, I finally broke down and registered here.

On the whole, I really love my two devices. I was formerly a longtime Palm aficionado. But by the time I had bought my last Palm, a LifeDrive, it was becoming obvious to me that Palm was going nowhere. Then one day I started looking around for a replacement. I saw some video of a guy plaing Doom with a Wiimote on an N810 one day and I was hooked.

A little more than a year getting my N810, the N900 came out. I'd always wanted a phone, but everything out at the time was kind of a disappointment for me. Everything seemed to be based around locked-down app stores where everything seemed so oversimplified. I wanted something I could do anything with. Sure, the N900 might not be for everybody, and sometimes Nokia's approach to some things leaves a few things to be desired. But where else can you find a phone that can play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, or for that matter anything else, with a Wiimote or PS3 controller? Hell, I even recycled my old N810 into a server with the help of Easy Debian.

These things are really the gifts that keep on giving. I really don't know where I'd find myself had Nokia not decided to undertake the grand experiment that is Maemo. They've really got gold here.
