My employer, Collabora was very generous and bought N900s for the entire company!

Mine just arrived:


I was lucky enough to pick one up at the Maemo Summit in October as well. However, those have to be sent back to Nokia in a few months, so now I won't have to dread the deadline :)

In related news, I'm (slowly) working on a handy Maemo 5 app of my own. More details as soon as it's usable (and uploaded to Maemo Extras [Devel]).

Next week(end), I'll be co-presenting the Maemo 5 Address Book with Mathias Hasselmann

The entire Address Book team has put a lot of effort into this new release, and it really shows. It's very feature-ful, fast, and well integrated into the rest of the system. I think we're all proud of how it's turned out.

No shiny screenshots or screencasts here -- you'll have to come to the talk! :)

It'll be on Saturday, Oct. 10th at 18:00 in the "N900" room. Our talk will be followed up by drinks in the same room, so why not grab a seat early? ;)

To everyone I said "sorry, I can't tell you" in the last year or so, please believe that it was really hard!

...because this is what I had to not talk about:



And it's got a big list of nice features:

• Packed with Open Source Software (including Telepathy, GStreamer, and GTK+)
  
• Unlocked by default!
  
• Very nice 800x480, 3.5" screen
  
• Flash 9.4 support
  
• 32 GB of storage
  
• 5 MP camera with dual flash
  
• Fast (A)GPS
  
• Multiple, customizable desktops
  
• Mozilla-based browser
  
• Very slick UI with plenty of bling to go around
  
• Does both charging and data transfer over a standard micro-USB cable
  
• Oh, and it makes phone calls and SMSes :)
  
• Lots more!

I just can't wait until it's released :)
