I haven't. The n9 with meego was amazing. The n900 too but I'm still sour thinking how great meego would be now instead of android.

N900 and Maemo were already awesome. There was absolutely no need to rewrite the entire operating system. Damn I am still angry.

Maemo was so much better than any os coming after it... Meego was in my opinion the wrong path to take. I still miss the N900, what an amazing device it was...

I was just waiting for the n900 whining so that I could join in. Damn, I miss my n900. It had flaws but for its time, it was amazing. With a good CPU, I'd buy it today in a heartbeat.
