It does not (at least on my N900) render pages faster than what I've experienced so far on the SGS2. Perhaps I could have done something to improve it but I took all the steps I read on this forum. I also found it to be extremely slow when you first open MicroB and load the first website.

I can see a few small limitations of Android, but clearly for someone like me it is more than sufficient.

1) I needed (or maybe just wanted) google maps
2) unfortunately I have some younger friends that live on facebook/ whatsapp and LiveProfile so though not essential, the ability to use these without lag or delay is another plus
3) Flash 10.3 - required for some stock trading websites or just download the android app for them
4) Have navigation voice come from the phone while phone hooked up to bluetooth car stereo for phone calls - I was on this forum looking for solutions but nothing for N900
5) BBC iPlayer just works flawlessly and something I value when commuting to work
6) MKV (h264) files can just be dropped on the device - no wasting time converting files
7)Pinch to zoom - I didn't realise how much easier it could make life in certain circumstances
8) Since I got the N900 I was looking for a solution to sync my calendar with google as well as my girl friend's without complication. This is achieved with ease seeing as it is android.
9)Voice to text - works pretty much perfectly and useful when driving or when hands are full, but not essential before you say it!
10)Navigation - a choice of navigation is a breath of fresh air. I mean, sygic was good but they are ceasing support and traffic data is quite important to me given I commute a lot for work

These are the things I was missing from the N900 - perhaps through my laziness but mainly due to circumstances. I don't have much knowledge of linux like some of you and so cannot live in Terminal for the rest of my life like Tom Hanks did.

No doubt the N900 is a beast of a device like the N95 was. Unfortunately with lack of support from Nokia it has been left behind.

Google has hit the nail on the head not releasing honeycomb source so people would port it onto phones. That UI is not designed for screens less than 10 inches. People on here (including myself) have said in the past we don't need applications as we have the full net in our hands. Android provides a balance, full internet and the option of easy access through applications to key sites. eg. The Trainline app, Flixster for cinema times

Each to there own, just go for what helps you improve you efficiency and how much you enjoy your device.

Thank you all. Goodnight
