That's pretty awesome.

How is the n900 otherwise? Is it a good phone? Would you buy it again if you had to do it all over?

I wouldn't recommend it to "normal" people - just because it's still a bit big and doesn't have that many apps. But for hackers it's just perfect imho. The real keyboard feels nice. You've got open access to whatever you want (and open-source access to almost everything). You can deploy your own scripts / apps. You can use multiple IM and voip accounts by default.

If you want to try the interface, you can install the maemo sdk (scratchbox) which will just run the real interface on your screen via X display.

I'm not the parent poster, but I also love mine as a phone and a computer and would totally buy it again given the choice.

I adore it. It's been the most flexible and trouble-free portable device I've ever owned.

Edit: but I find the only issue being with some locked iTunes music -- can't play it here. iTunes Plus and what I (now) get from amazon mp3 is fine.
