Here is a brilliant video of someone using a Nokia N900 to control an art exhibition. I think this video is really good and shows what can be done with a bit of imagination. The words are all made up of text messages from internet feeds as well.

I hope Nokia sticks to this – maemo's big advantage is the open source community. My t-mobile 6263 won't run google maps unless I 'debrand' it. Why does t-mo think it is a good deal for me to have a crippled phone? The n900 looks like a natural replacement/upgrade for my n800 but I could go with an android phone instead.

I think this is a good thing. Apple doesn't do it. Google Android doesn't do it. So why should Nokia neuter their phones just so the carriers can try to force their version of services down the consumers throat? Carriers should exist for the sole purpose of providing the infrastructure for mobile devices to work on. Why should they decide in what a device can and can't do? Isn't that the manufacturer's role? If carriers continue to dominate what mobile devices can do, wouldn't that slow down innovation?

Why do you think that? I think it is good news. Operators never added any value…only waiting for new fw versions?
Or am I not well informed?

Thanks for info. What carrier do you use, and what do you recommend for the N900. It seems t-mobile is the choice of many.
Thanks,

Did you see the "Google Talk call" button in the press photo?

Also Nokia's feature page explicitely mentions Skype:

Additionally T-Mobile and Vodafone just announced special data contracts coverying VoIP (at least for Germany). So operators also seem to change their minds.

I wonder if this will mean that we may see VOIP applications on Nokia phones. All the carriers in Ireland tend to remove many of these applications and lock them down

Considering the permanent talk about subsidised versions I am pretty sure that press is misinterpreting statements – by accident or for making a good headline.

Nokia knows the business too well, that it can effort ignoring operator wishes. And now seriously: Why should mobile operators get less power to customize the device, than any other Maemo user?

Considering the openness and customizability of the device this referenced article sounds like pure nonsense to me.

Some people see Nokia as a luxury line of phones because it's sold for such a high price unsubsidized; others see Nokia as a cheap company because of all of the basic phones they released (especially in other markets). I think it's a good decision they are making standing their ground on the devices they make. BUT, partnering up from time to time is good for the comapny.
