I totally understand. When I had to find a N900 replacement, I'd even buy the N900 again if I could find/afford it. I now have a £100 Blade with Gingerbread, and so far I haven't judged it (The Blade) to be significantly better on ANY point, except price where it rocks. Oh, wait, it's also slimmer.

OK I've been watching this thread and its time to jump in the pool.

The n900 is my first phone, I was more interested in the inet tablet portion of it) but I fell in love with the over all AWESOMENESS!! Anyway, what is the N9/N950 RM680 going to do that my N900 already doesn't? I won't rehash the hardware debate, and I understand it has a better camera, but here is my point. After 2 years I have my 900 running the apps I want, styled the way I want, updated the way I want. Why go down the same road with a new phone that will "probably" have the same "type" of development cycle.

I know you can't be specific, but I was looking for more its a little newer, a little faster, has a capacitive screen instead of resistive (ouch i love my stylus), and it's silver. Is this the difference between my n900 and this new phone?

Or will you say here are the number of things the N9 can do that the 900 can't?? ...(cleverly worded to dig for info..)

Here is one anyone can answer: Will the new phone run the current Maemo 5 / N900 apps?

I am guessing:
+ NFC
+ better navigation.
+ And apparently an icon indicated some better/more official support for some TV-related stuff. Don't know if it's web TV or TV-out or screen saver that has a TV-like icon for no apparent reason.

Edit:
really too early to tell, though.


The nice thing about the N900 is that it can do much more than a sandboxed phone. The difference in that lays in the fact that you will be able to compile new N900 applications from existing Linux software for years to come.

Nomatter what the next gen phone is, you can't take that away from the N900. You did your research well. The N900 is an irreplaceable product at this time, and the N9 seems to be an overlapping product more than a worthy successor.

Great... No Xenon flash

Back to the crappy Dual LED rubbish that just ends up leaving a load of white noise on one side of the photo

Looks good otherwise, hopefully itll come in black and other colours

Well... Step 5 was always supposed to be mass market. I think.

Pros:
+ Good OS
+ Good hardware

Cons:
- No stylus
- Stephen Elop (deal breaker)

I'd reconsider, probably even buy, if there turned out to be a stylus inside there somewhere.
So you decide to not buy it cause Elop is biggest Idiot at Nokia? Personally I hope everyone buys it and it success. Then Elop gets kicked and Nokia says: "Well WP7 is a burning platform so we decided to go Meego instead"

I know this has been answered better before, but I don't know where, my search button is orange

Qt based N900 applications: for sure. Ported Linux applications should mostly be recompilable, I would think. Non-open applications like Nokia applications, Flash, Skype: probably not unless through some hack or virtualization.

The N900 can do almost anything but here are a few things it has problems with:
- For some reason the N900 can't accomplish the feat of having a larger screen than that of the N900.
- Most N900's seem to be unable to have more ram then the N900.
- My N900, for some reason, have not been able to have have a built in 4 row keyboard.
- N900's in general can't do the special "I have hdmi out" dance.
- The N900 really sucks at not having an fmtx. (The Greek ones tried, but failed)

Sersiously though, I look at this like upgrading a pc hardware and installing a new release of the OS. I expect similar features, but stuff works better and faster
