Leo Laporte pre-ordered the N900 - is N900 getting some momentum in USA?

I watched the live video feed of Leo Laporte's radio show called The Tech Guy at http://live.twit.tv and I am also following Leo on Twitter.

It seems that the Nokia N900 has now got a new fan that will talk about it in the USA. Yes, Leo mentioned the N900 on his show in the context of Motorola Droid, iPhone and other smart phones. It has been a long long time since Leo has mentioned a Nokia phone in the same context as the iPhone or an Android phone.

Leo also seemed to have pre-order an N900:

I told him that I have been really happy with it and Leo's concern was of the N900 is too big. I assured him that this is not the case:

As I stated in the tweet, the N900 is not big in my opinion. The only thing I could say is that it is a bit thicker than, for example, the iPhone but I take a good hardware keyboard anytime for the price of the thickness. And it is not that thick! :)

The N900 is not sluggish my any means if you use it for browsing, email reading, chatting and with a few application open. When you start to have 9+ application open, the transitions from the app switcher will be slower. But it will be fine once the application gets focus again and is fullscreen.

Now let's just hope that Leo has some good words to say about it when he gets his hands on it! :)
