The next thing for NOKIA n900 users is a jump from the tallest bridge.

...As I said, what really gets me is the multitasking - I often have multiple e-mails, sms, websites, etc. open and I reference between them when writing out a reply....

What's next for N900 users?
The accomplishment of properly porting the C++/Qt/QML framework to Honeycomb and Gingerbread then purchasing a high-end Android device from another OEM which is easily customizable and has no locked bootloader.
No offence.

Do you have brands suggestion?

At the moment there is no evidence that Elop is going to allow the N9 to be sold in greater numbers than the N900? It seems the last thing he wants is for the phone to be a run away success selling in large numbers.

iPhone was also limited regionally at first
In any case N9 built like a brick to minimize user ability to screw up the hardware and production cost (hence no flip keyboard is my guess).

I think that people who are willing to spend $60 or so on a monthly plan for a smartphone are insane. When my N900 dies, along with the $15 or so a month plan I am paying for service now, I am going to find a cheap phone and cheap plan and focus on having fun when I'm in a free WiFi situation, like at my house. It is time to show the wireless providers that we are not suckers by not buying their products. Don't give them your money, it just encourages them! You actually don't need to flash your status in bars with a cool phone. Read Thorstein Veblen's work on "conspicuous consumption" and repent!
More seriously, I am looking at other prepaid plans like Virgin Mobile's $25 a month plan. I think that techs should take a principled stand against being ripped off.

Some people make money by being connected all the time, not everything is about fun n games (n status updates)
But yeah... everyone should vote with their money. Personally though, I think the best way to 'fight' a commercial entity is by making way for alternatives that jives more to what you believe in.
Speaking (or even shouting) what you think to change people's mind in this crowded and loud world doesn't work no more.

Seriously... what is next for N900 users? Been thinking about that since most of the active developers have N950's and have moved on to support the new hotness (read: Harmattan) and will probably drop their current environment(s) for Qt (if they haven't already) and the N900 will be further forgotten by Nokia and this community.
That's my guess. I'd love to be proven wrong.

"Nokia Developer former Forum Nokia will provides a community port of components to Ubuntu Natty, Maemo5, and MeeGo 1.2."
So the Qt Quick softwares created to MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan will (have the potential to) also run on Maemo 5, MeeGo (non-Harmattan) and Ubuntu
