N900, Long Overdue

Some may be asking why I have taken so long to go ahead and do a review on this device? Part of the reason has been my past experiences with the Nokia N800. With an open source device of this type, you really have to wait until the community has worked with the device to really see its potential. In the case of the MAEMO/LINUX/Hacking community, it usually is about six months, but I chose the cycle of "a year n' two"... that is one year, two months, as the maturation period for this sort of device. I should be ready to give a full review within the next couple of weeks, with something a bit different.... I will be talking about the various hacks that are available with this device, testing those hacks, discussing best tutorials for the device and its customizations, etc. It should keep this blog busy consistently through the end of the year, just on the subject of the N900.

I am not in the position to go and say that I will throw away the IPHONE 3g for this device, although after losing some very precious rare videos recently, I very nearly went dashed it to a thousand pieces, I have my reasons for selecting this device, which the review will show soon enough. I have noticed far too many threads on YouTube, and other blogs sites, where the opinion has been basically to tell other users that they suck for being part of a proprietary lie, or on the other side that N900 sucks because its full of open sores.... very childish, not very smart. In all honesty, it comes down to what the device can do for the user. It is my hope that within the next few months I will be able to keep this type of objectivity going.

Til then,

P.S.
GO JETS!!!!!
