</div>Not on the market yet.^W^W^W^W^WJust announced, ergo buggy. NO KEYBOARD.<br>
Say you've bricked your phone or locked it down. How are you going to<br>
bring it back without a keyboard? Personally, I don't like either wiping<br></blockquote></div><div>I don't see how having or not having a keyboard has anything to do with being able to revive a bricked unit.<br>
The SheevaPlug has no keyboard, yet it's mini-USB connection that can drive a JTAG chain to reprogram the internal flash regardless of the unit state.<br>

off fingerprints or when a on-screen keyboard obscures the most of,<br>
already scarce, available surface. So, it's an option, as long as the<br>
company would like to open its chest of secrets. However, I would<br>
strongly consider the silently announced "brother phone" N950 instead if<br>
I were you.</blockquote></div><div>The N950 is not available for sale.<br>There were 250 units available on a long-term loan to qualified developers, and then 100 more were made available on the same requirements via <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> or <a href="http://meego.org" target="_blank">meego.org</a> or something like that.<br>
You just can't buy it.<br>And even if you could, it's software would probably be in a worse state than the N900's.<br><br>Personally, I have an N900 and I don't see anything that can replace it at the moment.<br>
I just hope that eventually we would see Meego on someone's phone.<br>If it would break down I would look for a 2nd hand one.<br><font color="#888888"><br></font></div></div></div></blockquote><div>I love my N900, i am not replacing it yet, as i see no candidate yet.<br>
however, The screen is too small for me. I guess i can find a way to make the font bigger, but currently the numbers in the addressbook are in a too small of a font so i can't see them. I am in the denial stage so i do not carry reading glasses with me yet. <br>
<br>Other issues with the N900 - i am missing new simple applications like a good roadmap gps app, PTT app, and other, which i installed in my wife's android. i saw xmltvm and alian-dalvik which i thought would give me the option of running android apps on the N900 (or any other linux), i even gave a try of trying to help in development. but i guess it is too far from being workable so i would need to practically do most of it myself.<br>
<br>and the N900 is getting older technology wise - no multitouch, small display, old processor, no hdmi etc...<br>sooner or later i will probably use my n900 as a server for somtehing (DMZ server, webcam, etc...). and need to get something new<br>
<br>so if not now, the same question will pop up later ...<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote">
