since Nokia started the Lighthouse project, nicely hosted on code.google.com :)

and instructions for how to do it.

Look at the N900 feature list - "Phone" is fourth down.

Maemo may power Nokia's high-end devices, but this is no reason to sound the death knell for Symbian. With regard to Nokia, they make a lot of phones that are not the N900, and do not cost 500 euro. There are also dozens of other companies supporting the Symbian Foundation, including many other manufacturers like Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

Symbian^4 will use Qt as its UI layer, and Maemo is moving into a similar direction (that's why Nokia bought Trolltech!) - targeting both platforms should be quite simple.

I'm an avid fan of Nokia and Symbian phones from Philippines, and I'd like to share my interest in exploring new features in mobile technology particularly this new device and its Maemo platform for mobile communicators.

I'd like to witness how it performs well as a device, mobile communicator, and internet tablet, and be able to know what lies behind this new mobile OS.

I also want to know how worthy to have this device over the other existing and upcoming competitors and rivals in its level, and chat and meet people with the same interest.

I hope we can share each and everyone's knowledge on this stuff among all of electronic gadgets we've had. http://www.Nokia-N900.org is nice place to hangout.

Here's some data on phone OS market share. Symbian leads with 41%, but iPhone is a close second (32%). Palm is way, way behind (4%).

I want one but a 7" screen is just a bit too small. I would drop my money in a second if they put out one with a 10" screen. Asus said they would months ago and then retracted the statement. The small screen size is the only thing holding me back right now... --Ron

Yeah, I end up there too. Same with http://tamspalm.tamoggemon.com/ - wonder what the [censored] is up with that.
