N900, native Linux? Like, mainline Linux? Compile-my-own-kernel Linux? No. https://elektranox.org/n900/status/kernel.html I have an N810 and would like to run mainline Linux and Debian on it. Hardware not supported by mainline, like the N900. Lately I have tried using a chroot instead but I run into problems like cryptsetup does not work and rebuilding the kernel is… difficult, requiring a modified initfs. > The N900 (I have one and an N810) is a really rock-solid platform, though > I am not terribly enamored with Nokia.

But I digress. I use the N810 GPS a lot. AGPS, a necessary feature for making N810's GPS usable, has been dropped by Nokia (along with other N810 things). https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11798 > Though you can, in fact, install a project called NITdroid on > the N900 (and possibly the N810). Not the N810. http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N8x0
