TRAITOR!!

LOL! Just kidding, man. That new phone looks nice. Let us know about it when you get it. Take care, and see ya' round the forums.

that is the phone i would go with next if i had just a butt load of extra cash around,but my kid is bout to let that happen.
are you gonna wait to see whats up with it? or are you just gonna jump into meamo(sp)feet first?
thats my biggest fear,that op system might not be all that

To be honest, I have nothing to lose really.  If it works as a phone, I'm good.  Where I live, there is no 3G speeds available.  The only time I ever use 3G is when I am 'down south' or 'up in Anchorage'.  They have been talking about getting 3G where I live for the past couple of years now but to no avail.  These are 'tough' times right now, so I don't foresee anything ever developing here.  I usually just use WiFi in my home, the public library or other WiFi hotspots when I'm not using the regular GSM freqs.  I might use 3G like maybe 10 times or less an entire year since I started using cell phones.  So yeah, not having 3G is not an issue for me.  At least I will have 3G on T-Mobile if I ever should switch and the international flavors of 3/3.5G as well.  

To me it's not just being an 'early adopter'.  To me, it's buying a piece of history.  Imagine owning the world's first Linux phone?  It's like owning the first iPhone or something.  Whether it turns out to be a smashing success or not, I have the first Linux phone ever.

Just in case you didn't see this...

I'm also considering this phone and the N97 Mini as well... hard to make a decision. I like the small form factor of the N97 Mini, but the N900 is just a damn mean powerhouse but it's big. Not to mention the cost between these two are negligible..
