I can't wait to get my hands on this. I hope the battery life is ok. That is my main concern.

@Muhammad

The processor is the same is in iPhone 3GS can be overclocked to 900mhz if you're so inclined and it has graphical acceleration.

What do you mean by low adobe flash? as appose to high adobe flash?

They aren't blocking VOIP, skype appears in one of the promo videos.

I agree on the numpad but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to customise the key mapping.

No multitouch, fair enough. I hate the pinch style zoom of the iPhone. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

no xenon flash, low adobe flash, low multitouch (see demo video) instead of more conventional pinch style to squeez, it has spiral finger movement and even that sucks. cpu is low 600MHz (see zoom in out demo for performance). quite fat. dont know whether they are also blocking p2p/voip on it like Android first versions. numpad is lenear, should be 3x3 rowXcol style. i guess samsung and htc will dominate smartphone space. desperate for HTC Shift 2 with Wimax and 5mp cam.

Maemo rocks, all it was lacking was a 3G slot

maemo's been real easy to tweak, lot's of various distros running now

this launch puts em in the middle of winmo / iphone os / android

could end up being most powerful phone on the market. good luck nokia

I love this idea. At last an OS that is modern, upgradeable, universal and able to be customised.

Wait till I tell the boys in the office that it can be done.

Maybe I'm an old fogey now but I used to run a BBS in the old days for example, and am fairly tech savvy. The last cell phone I had was a Motorola Star Trac about 10 years ago. I cancelled the subscription when I found I hadn't used it in 3 months. I hated people calling me on the damn cell phone, because I'm busy doing something most of the time.
On the + side I recently picked up a Nokia N810.. excellent! I had one of the original N770s & got great use out of it, sold it before it became completely valueless. The only thing I don't like about the N810 is the GPS. They want $80 for the GPS software (heck, I bought a Sony Navü for that price) plus it doesn't work all that great. Oh, I also don't like the lack of A2DP (I have a Sony bluetooth stereo that could work with it).
The thing about this kind of kit: convergence takes away at least as fast as it gives. Sure the Nokia has web camera, internet, GPS, skype, MP3, video gaming; but it does none of those functions particularly well.
I think I'd really like to get a Dell Mini 9 & make it into the perfect hackintosh.

If it can't, then its just another useless phone ...
