This is extremely cool in concept; if it works out nicely I think it would be a huge hit among the business and nerd crowds that always need a program or something equivalent. Yes the price is steep, but first-models of anything are expensive.

For those that don't want to read the article:
Phone. Runs Linux. Almost full-blown Linux. Bitchin' cool.

No it's not. Nokia doesn't call N-series devices phones.

They are multimedia computers which have capability to make calls over 3G networks.

N(700/800/810) were all marketed as internet tablets and had no phone capability to begin with.(beyond skype that is)

This N900 is next gen internet tablet with builtin 3G. You can do much more with this device than you can with "normal smartphones" as it runs complete operating system.

You can even install and run openoffice on this device.

How much RAM does it have? My phone won't run JavaOp because it hasn't got enough RAM.
