Nokia N900 is still not available here in the phone povider houses. There is coding and coding and no releasing. In the end google will buy Nokia and me and Amigo will be 23andme. Ami go home! there is no linux mobile phone for the masses, because the merge is delaying. We need the N900 with actual Qt software in the market, not not mameo 5, but as well not meego in 2 years. we need maemo6 now on the nokia N900 and a release in the phone houses. Open Source they know, but not marketing, they do not know. Remember my words: Google needs Phones, and Nokia provides them, So Nokia is a fish to eat! Nokia should merge with Acer. Anyhow. Users in the market wait for the N900. Any solution to send them one with phonehouse contract?
