I have been using the N810 for a week now. It’s plain awesome – its decently fast and most importantly things just work. The feel of the device is so good compared to my pricy 6110 S60 crap. I am really hoping Nokia will release a maemo based image for 6110 someday.
My previous experience with Nokia (device) development was with S60/Symbian which was just plain depressing. The Carbide would keep crapping out at the most inappropriate moments, the final product behaves differently than the simulator, the… Ah, I should stop here, I love bitching about S60 and Symbian. And I can do it forever
So with some trepidation, yesterday I decided to get my N810 setup for development. It was so simple that I was sure I was missing something. Qt Hello World was up and running in short time. I wrote a small tutorial on how to get Qt installed on maemo.
Immediate thoughts: Maemo looks like a very hacker friendly platform. A big thing for me is that compared to the S60, I actually want to write apps for the N810.

Don’t you mean “Scratchbox” instead of “Sandbox” in the tutorial ?
cazou, oops, yes. Corrected.
Or maybe Girish installed in on /sandbox ?
These plug ins are cool tools for extending the features of Carbide.ui Theme Edition 2.0 to enable the creation of themes for various version of Symbian, S60 platform editions, and devices from Nokia.
Before installing the S60 5th Edition plug-in please uninstall the version in Carbide.ui. Instructions on this process are provided in the Carbide.ui Theme Edition S60 5th Edition Plug-in: Installation and What’s New Guide.
