I can only believe it if I see it.. .I just have. the nokia N900 is running on an Android ICS ROM.

Here is the link:

N900 runs Maemo which is based on debian .It was the geek phone of choice so much so people actually rejected free replacement to N8 !! Any thing is possible with that phone

N900 is a great mobile phone, I think it can be the second HTC HD2, to run various OS.

I think it also natively ran Palm. The earlier 700 and 800 series did. I'd love to have one.

I have an n810 tablet sitting in my desk (before the phone came out)

Really cool device, with a lot of potential. Honestly one of the biggest flaws of the device is that it was before its time.. that 400 mhz processor does a lot..

but, the sad truth is it lacks the "omph" required to compete today and to some extent even then..... but, my god.. if they had an android phone with that build quality..

Even if it was still 4" with no keyboard.. it would be a really impressive device (despite its weight).

but does this mean that nokia will start producing android phones ?

^^ Nope .Never . Nada . Zilch . It just means we have some very good devs around . Nokia doesnt plan on having android now or in recent future .They are fully committed to WP7

n900 is a beast...still upset I got mine wet, which took out the LCD backlight (everything still visible at certain angle though). Came w/full Flash support and Skype video calling back in '09. Smartphone multitasking at its best:
