I have to say, I'm pretty excited about the N900. That looks like Canola in
the pictures. If they integrated that into the base system, the Maemo team
did a very smart thing there.
Looking forward to hearing more about it from Nokia World.announcements.

One thing concerns me based upon earlier reviews - it appears that the size
of the screen will be smaller. That may not be a big issue as it appears
from the pictures that Nokia is utilizing the space better than the 810.
Only time will tell. It also looks like they've added capabilities (such as

My guess is that -- like their other mobile phone products -- if you buy
direct from Nokia it won't be carrier locked.

That is all well and good. But T-Mobile is
I´m worried about the elder versions, like N8x0, that became very popular in

This is propaganda and a myth. Sure, you may be able to _install_ apps

Yes, I know but they haven't "fixed" it in the past (I remember the
discussion when the N800 came out) so I'm hoping they will in 5.0. :-)

Not yet. They're already working on a hybrid EV-DO/HSPA modem

Is there any chance that the "new" OS for the N900 would run or be
available for the N8x0 crowd? This seems similar to the relationship
of the Apple iTouch to the iPhone where they can both run the same OS,
just one is missing the phone and other minor features.

Sorry, that was supposed to be miniSD. But it's definitely hot-swappable
regardless of that :)

If you throw enough swap at an OS you can run anything but an I/O bound
