The difference being that Nokia will never overwrite or disable the phone in
a subsequent upgrade due to user modifications, since the N900 is
effectively "jail broken" out of the box.

I'm well aware of it's capabilities and others than could/can do the
same. Have been for some time. I wasn't at all posting that info here
because i'm some sort of iphone fanboy. I just thought it was a neat
bit of hacking. Period.

because it uses an ordinary email client that does not append silly messages
announcing its presence. :)

Neither does mine. I have mine set that way for two reasons of
personal preference.

1. To make some people aware that I am responding from a mobile device
and therefore aware of certain limitations that don't apply in this
case.

2. Was originally to rib blackberry users. Some older blackberries
used to add that signature by default.

The same thing can be done on a Nokia N900, see:
