havent used nokia for years, never touched an n7 or n8 device, never used linux and it was the first time i heard of maemo ( and i used to call it may-mo) lol. but i did what ur doing now; a solid 5 days reading on the device; bookmarking and stumbling on this site before i ordered it; now am confident in most areas....terminal; flashing; overclocking etc. i even have people asking me what to do with theirs. best device ive owned and will def buy the next version. the communicaton intergration is what does it 4 me.
Yo dude i am from Malaysia too bought it for 2280 official launching price, trust me get it its an awesome phone which you can play around, not that hard my friend i dont even have linux background but yea now i am learning a little here and there on linux
As a linux noob, it took me less than a week to take full advantage of my N900 including terminal commands and deep customization.
I really hate when reviewers say that it's unwieldy for new users to learn. Any reviewer who says that should not be in the business. (looking at you Josh Topolsky)
