Aug 6th 2010 6:46PM "Yes, we will launch the N8 in the US, but we haven't announced any carriers yet."

i take that to mean they'll sell it unsubsidized for a bit, then maybe--maybe--they'll have tmo carry it next year when it's old.
look at the nokia 5230 (nuron). been out a year before showing up on tmobile. nokia e72 (the e73 mode here in the US) has been out over a year, and just showed up.

Nokia N900 drops to $369, unlocked (Engadget)

Jun 23rd 2010 10:47AM i hate this phone. the new firmware (PR1.2) feels like beta software. if i type too fast some of my letters are capitalized for no reason. like fOr eXamPLe this.
answering a call is now an adventure. you can pick up but there's no guarantee you'll actually be picking up, 1/3 of the time it just hangs up.
this didn't really happen before PR1.2.

Google's Chromium project ported to N900 (Engadget)

Apr 9th 2010 1:08PM this browser sucks! it's damn near unusable (slow) and you can't zoom in. it's a "why bother" since the microB browser on the phone is just fine.

Nokia: MeeGo "door is not closed" on N900 (Engadget)

which is not a good thing at all--if nobody is writing apps for even the most popular services (twitter, facebook, for example) we have virtually no hope for a google maps app, or any app of any meaning
i've had an n900 since day 1, is it good for some things? yes. emailing is pretty easy, watching divx files is great, the google reader (grr) app is very cool, but there are other things it falls very short on, such as the soc net stuff and simple apps that are on android, blackberry, and iphone (like the NBA gametime app)
