I have a triple boot kernel...stock maemo os, overclocked maemo os, and then the android os. I can choose any I want on boot up of the phone.

Still doesn't seem worth it to me. I've got to make a phone call, hold on let me restart my phone so I can boot into the OS that can make phone calls.

It's a cool thing to play around with for sure, just not something I'd use on a regular basis. But then you're probably not using it on a regular basis either.

Yep I know what you mean. I've had Android on the old WM for a while. Started by just booting and not being able to do much. Now I have Android 2.2 and can use everything from the market place to google maps. Only things that don't work are the sound (Only works in-call), GPS, and the Camera. Every moth things change. But I need a new phone. WM is dieing.

I'm gonna try and find some files to try and boot maemo. I know some HD2 guys have tried it but don't know if they succeeded. I bet you could run Ubuntu T-bot.

Nice nice. I'm gonna have to see this Maemo device sometime. I used to love Nokias but their build quality compared to others felt like it was staying the same and cheap.

I'm probably gonna go Android next. We shall see. I just hope someone comes out with an unlocked phone with T-Mo 3G included besides Nokia and Sony.

The n900 is solid! I'd recommend it man. But yeah, we'll have to meet up sometime so you can check it out.
