I think we might have a new Nokia motto:

Speak rarely and carry a big stick.

Or if that's too boring, how about:

Speak rarely and swing a big...

Great news.

Like I said in the other thread. This is awesome news.

I'm liking my N900 even more and more every day.

Thank you!

DAMN! and i thought i could switch to the dell lightning in Q4 2010!

great news, the n900 is becoming less of a faceless device and more of a passion each and every day!

I hope they slap a desktop environment on there as a placeholder until the official UIs are finished. I suggest LXDE; it is the one we use from Debian and it is lightweight enough for handhelds, and it also works nicely on netbooks.

Is there a lightweight QT-based desktop environment out there? Or is there only KDE?

The MeeGo project is putting every single minute in the trunk tasks e.g. releasing the Handset UX.

However, there is probably nothing stopping you from going for an unofficial MeeGo UX category "Netbook in Handset UX"

I am just noob but seems future may become more interesting:

Probably sages here know all about this and I apologize for posting in advance.

@ above - I think that the download is mostly just a promt (CLI) with not much more.
I remember people here flashing then flashing back.


Edit: If we (N900 users) get a working release, will it be just a working OS or a fully working OS with support for our GPS, GSM, 3G, Fm Transmitter and all other goodies?

The idea to remember is that the N900 has been selected by the MeeGo project as a hardware platform to test the ARM support for MeeGo. In order to test you need the hardware enabled, and this is why the goal of Harri's project is to make MeeGo fully working in the N900.
