The problem I have with android or any smartphone OS out right now outside of Maemo is that I can't use it like I can use a computer. If I am going to be paying a $25+ premium per month for a mobile device I had better be able to do A LOT more then check my email and play angry birds if I wanted to just do that I would get a DS or PSP or keep using my Palm and not deal with the monthly fee.
All that linux stuff that google striped out is stuff I would use regularly and make the $25 monthly premium worth it to me. I am not bashing Android, iOS, or WP7. use whatever suits your needs, I know what suits my needs and it is not those.
What sort of "use a computer" way are you getting out of the N900 that you don't think you can get on an Android device right now?
I would say 'same here' but if the rumors and info on the web are to be believed, the N950 will be a full touchscreen (a la N8). Not sure if I can go for that. The awesome hw keyboard was one of my main reasons for getting the N900 in the first place. If the N8's touchscreen reviews are anything to go by, I'm not all that excited by the N900's successor anymore. Shame
Man, you weren't around for the hell-storm that ensued when they moved the D-pad off the side of the N800 to throw it down into the keyboard area on the N810's... and for the completely MISSING dpad maelstroms that followed here on the ITT and TMO forums, huh?

I wouldn't know from where to start.
All "standard" Linux CLI tools?
Bluetooth/USB tethering, masqurading, routing setup with power-kernel and with "standard" Linux-tools and config-files?
