Hi,
Reviving this thread briefly, I'm surprised I've not seen any mention of
the Palm Pre during it, it's even due out this month (though exclusive to
02) and generated quite a buzz when launched in the US earlier this year.
Also has anybody seen a confirmed release date for the Nokia N900?

I'd got 21st in my head but can't remember where I got that from.

You missed the Nokia N900[1] running Maemo[2] also comming in October.
Several suppliers are touting it with Vodafone/O2 contracts etc and theres
a rumour that Vodafone may be supplying it direct.
That's certainly on my wishlist, but would like to
