It's awesome.
Not perfect yet.

Usable. At times a bit irritating. Much better than in OS2008 on a
N8x0.

They're not for sale yet. Nobody yet had a chance to buy one. I got
mine as a 6-month loan at the Maemo Summit.
For me personally it'd be worth the full price.
A 3G SIM card with unlimited data enhances the experience considerably.
E.g. without it the GPS is mostly useless. Also, being always online is a
new way of looking at things that unlocks the full potential of Internet
Tablets. I first experienced it at CERN, which had WiFi everywhere.
BTW I do not intend to use my N900 as a phone. The battery life is too
uncertain for that: since it's such a pleasant thing to use, I keep
using it all the time and drain the battery in 6 to 8 hours. For voice
calls I'm quite happy with my Series 40 Nokia 6600 that only needs
charging once or twice a week.
