Got a N900, my notes for it are here: hardwarerelated/nokia_n900

• commenting Nokia N900:
  • pro: when buying this you actually get root without having to break in or something! The N900 provides a quite complete linux, really nice.
  • pro: has keyboard, contains complete linux-box, think of encrypted homedir, mobile notesbook with revisioncontrol, read ebooks (FBReader), navigation Wayfinder
  • the N900 will apparently not be available　in Japan
• commenting Android:
  • pro: probably bigger userbase than N900
  • cons: getting root not directly allowed to the user
  • cons: Mythbusters_Android.pdf (thanks Harald Welte for the link)
• http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39790 – This is a nice thread comparing N900 and Nexus One
• iphone: nice to use - but everything else than free
• new nokia communicator: should be available in 2010

Provides ssh and vnc. Nice features like gps, wlan, sip. My hints here are focused on getting the e90 to fill my admin-needs. I want to listen to the podcasts from http://chaosradio.ccc.de/ . A recent thread on www.tlug.de (thanks Nils Dettenbach and others) made me regard the e90, and nokia even lets me install software, unlike other popular phones.
