At first glance, awesome!

But don't get so enthusiastic about that.

For us YES. Handheld device, controlled by linux. got hardware keyboard and so on.

But lets try to cut it from other side. As n900 was a tablet and never meant to be a phone, still was designed that way, that it is phone-sized. This device? It's like calling from laptop pushed to your ear.

Good console, will found it's place in backpack and probably produce roots. Nice gadged but hey:

Texas Instruments OMAP5432 (1.5 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15, 2x ARM Cortex-M4, 533 MHz PowerVR SGX544MP2, Vivante GC320 2D Accelerator) - Good stable cpu, but it is oooold.

2gb RAM in basic versiom, hmmm, 2gb of ram is good for microwave.

Good device, maybe there is one hope for it. It can be tweaked and work as home stereo central unit controlled from your phone. Start your waching machine at given time. Start to heat water.

As it is linux box some will find a way to use it. After 13 years I still can find something that maybe new samsung galaxy will do it better today, nokia 770 still can.

So,
Phone? - No
Game Console - Depends of games avability -Short Therm
Mobile Computer? - Depends of software and manufacturer support
Practical Device? - I rather carry laptop, but no need to as I have n900.
