Was waiting so long for this phone, but quite disappointed.

I went to the Nokia store today and played around with the N900. The QWERTY keypad is nice, and the phone feels solid. But I really think the GUI is annoying.
1) Menu items just standard Nokia ones and can't rearrange
2) It's using a resistive screen so can't drag it with your finger smoothly, had to use my fingernail.
3) Applications all quite dull.
4) Stuck in landscape mode

The good thing is that there's a lot of non-GUI functionality, but it's quite expensive. I think for that price an Android phone would be a better buy - more applications in Android Market and customization potential. Played with some android HTC phones recently, think they're really great.

From what I saw, nothing really special. OVI Maps is the most interesting thing, but if you're a Nokia user chances are you already prefer to install "ahem-ahem" edition of Garmin.

It's Maemo based so I guess you can download any application from maemo.org, but not sure if all your old Symbian applications can be easily ported and used.

Seriously for 2k, I think this phone is not worth it.

No, I don't think iPhone is worth the money either.
Just because I don't like N900 doesn't mean I like Apple iPhone.
