This phone looks pretty cool!!!
Nokia isnt really working much on the looks of the phone. Somewhere down the line, this phone has a lot of similarities to N97

@gyanguru Actually more like the N800, N810 (even the N770), I have always considered a platform like this, running Linux (Maemo), untethered, without restrictions as a huge improvement over any of the Nxx series of phones, including the N97.
My mantra is that if you can NOT install at least one Linux distro on the handheld then it just is not “smart”.
The fact that the N800, played high definition video right out of the box, with a webcam, WiFi, two Micro SSD storage slots, GPS module (extra), flippable camera and above all else the ability to install Linux application software on the “computer” as this little powerful handheld is in reality a Linux computer with phone capabilities. The N800 even had an FM chip internal! You could write on it like a tablet and so much more.
Now with the N900, it looks even better. If I can not install a Linux distro on the device and have access to a decent size screen (nothing smaller than this) than I will not purchase the device.
