I really like the Pyra too. As with the mobile phone industry, I've been very disillusioned by the gaming industry in the last few years and the direction it continues to head in. The Pyra is a breath of fresh air. Basically it's the ultimate gaming handheld device. If I had a full time job I'd pre-order one in an instant. As I don't, I'm sticking with the Neo900 for now.
A few important points to add to your list including critically, why I don't think the Pyra can be called an N900 successor:
Neo900 pros:
It's designed to work as a phone.
Unique modem sandbox gives the user (and
only
the user!) full control of the device and maximum possible privacy.
The possibility of a mass produced "STEP2" successor with decent specs.
Pyra cons:
Don't expect it to replace your phone.
