Maemo 5. Basically Linux. Massively open source and highly hackable

Still a great phone. Gonna stick with the Hero until it gets the 2.1 update. I do need a Nokia aswell though.

Will do, thanks. I'm all into Symbian at the moment so it's good to broaden the horizon.

Symbian is a decent OS. A new version of Symbian is still on the roadmap. Its / will be opensource and that will help developers a lot to improve stuff fast.

Got my N900 today. Amazing, amazing device. MSN, skype, etc integrates perfectly with your contacts and 'conversations'.
Mediaplayer is amazing, i just installed FLAC support and it plays Apple lossless as well. Also you dont need WMP to sync your device. Just copy the files to the drive and it will be picked up automatically. I am using a foobar2000 plugin for this.
The videoplayer is pretty good with common xvid files, although there is some frameskipping during complex scenes.
The browser is pretty cool as well. Its a firefox port, the addon dialog is exactly the same and its actually possible to install Adblock Plus and other addons.
I know Android and iPhone OS have more apps at the moment, but its incredible what already is available: Bittorrent clients, other mediaplayers, official firefox, remote control software and even AbiWord.[
Games are a bit weak at the moment. Although there are some nice games available.
