This is amazing. 300 developers have just been given a Nokia N900 (pre-final production version) for a 6 months loan. I’ve never seen so many happy kids!
I recorded my unboxing for fun and it’s embedded below but the most important announcement is that I’ll be running another live session on Monday. Hopefully JKK will join and we can talk about the N900 and it’s competitors.
Stay tuned for final information about the live session.

If I had been quicker I would have set up a syncronised unboxing with 10-20 of the people here. Now THAT would have been an unboxing!

Unfortunately, it’s not the battery used in the N810 or E90. Instead it’s a BL-5J. 1350MA, I believe.

That should be a small m, as in 1350mA.

Haha, that’s neat. I wonder when those seeds will bear fruit!
The N900 needs a busy developer pool to succeed.
