It's the first phone that I don't want to throw against a wall for flagrant stupidity. It works. The hardware is great (best wifi reception ever experienced, great sound, etc - you're right battery life sucks, like any other smart phone AFAIK) and the software feels like $HOME.<br /><br />Now I just booted Meego 1.1 on an Atom netbook and it feels great too.<br /><br />I'd like to thank Nokia (and now Intel) for their *intelligence*.<br /><br />PhilippeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-90940831396878411552010-01-27T10:54:33.620-06:002010-01-27T10:54:33.620-06:00@I am Bubble - Just because the phone isn't ro...@I am Bubble - Just because the phone isn't rooted doesn't mean it couldn't in theory get a virus. For instance look at the fact in Android you can install applications without a root password, meaning a virus could easily load itself regardless.<br /><br />@Anonymous Above Me - Yes it can tether via bluetooth and USB, plus there is a community project going to tether it via wifi. Most applications require a recompile to work, but yes it is a full Linux distro. Check out the following two links for more information on what the N900 can do:<br /><br />http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/01/nokia-n900-handheld-device.html<br />http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/01/nokia-n900-pros-and-cons.html<br /><br />~JeffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954467314386661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-52307958363871114192010-01-27T08:38:10.445-06:002010-01-27T08:38:10.445-06:00Jeff thxs for your posting.
