More or less ten days ago, when I finally came back home from Paris, I had the urgent need to buy a new gadget. My birthday together with a I-passed-an-year-far-from-home-so-now-I-deserve-a-prize feeling convinced me it was time to trash a huge amount of money on something freakin' awesome as well as freakin' pointless. Whatever, I was turning 24, I had the perfect excuse. After a "quick" tour of all the mobile phone shops in town, I landed on the good ol' giant tech store near home, after all I was missing it for one long year. In ten minutes, I was already playing with 550 euros of pure linux awesomeness: the Nokia N900. Now that some time has passed I can say it' s quite a good phone... for a nerd. The interface' s quite cool, but probably it' s too original for the normal user and takes some time to get used to it. Other than that, the operating system is Maemo, a debian-based distribution, so what can I ask more than that? :)
Multitasking is pretty cool, in fact now every time I go back to my iPod touch I feel very limited since I can't text, browse, install an app and tweet at the same time. On the other hand, especially when installing apps, the system get reeeeally slow, but still, it' s ok since I am not installing apps all the time(except for the first days of course). Other than that, I really LOVE the keyboard, way better than having one on screen.
