How well does it work?
What does it contribute to the device in terms of functionality?

Edit: Flaming aside, it doesn't look like it works very well, bordering unusable. Doesn't contribute much to the device except some nice publicity.

b) it removes core functionality in favor of the ability to run Linux/Ubuntu programs
You could probably get Ubuntu running on the N900 as well. But why would you want to?

Dunno I'd be siked to death (thus defeating the purpose) of a phone running Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu on my PC.
