You're so right man - nothing comes close to the n900.

I keep looking out there on the market expecting to see better phones, only to see closed-source wannabe's with higher specs. I spit on them, they're not real devices.

<rant>
Nokia deserve a real round of applause for what they tried to do with this phone and Qt. Sure it's not a completely open phone, but it was a brave step in the right direction and Qt is by far one of the best framework's out there - almost every OS uses Qt apps in form or another.

But then they got scared. Nokia dropped Maemo, then Meego, and even shunned Symbian to choose Windows. Not only that, but they sold Qt (despite the fact that Qt was doing very well at the time) to Digia.

I love this community, and I have nothing but undying respect for those who maintain CSSU. Nokia are such bastards to turn their backs on all the loyal devs that have followed them so far.

Rignt now I have my eye on Project Tizen. When they release that, then I'll maybe stick my head out for a new phone.

Edit: No I won't, Tizen has dropped Qt. They're not making this easy.....

Till then, all the current ones can go **** themselves.
