I far from sure.. but think an undervolted n900 would beat the Galaxys battery charge. Or are it able to last longer than 72h? Do it have 32Gb space?

. You could even set the interface to Wingdings if that is what floats your boat.More seriously I have both (though my N900 has been relegated to a pure internet tablet role) and personally I feel that the only thing holding back the N900 is its cpu and OVI store that might as well not exist.

GPU wise, the N900 is no match. Screen wise, the N900 is no match. OS wise, Maemo beats Android in openess and features = Fact. One is a mobile computer OS, the other is a smartphoneOS. Your preference may vary but the truth is that Maemo is more robust than Android due to being as close to a full linux release as you can currently get.
I want the Hummingbird CPU+GPU combo that is in the Galaxy S and the SuperAmoled but not at the expense of having a mobile computer.
In short, the N900 hardware cannot beat the hardware in the Galaxy S phones due to a superior GPU in the Hummingbird processor. If you don't care about having a mobile computer/xterminal/opensource development friendly OS, by all means go for a Galaxy S phone. The GPU is reportedly able to max out at 90 Million polygons per second. Now if it is even pushed that far is anyones guess.

What would be more interesting would be to compare N8 and Galaxy S.

They both have strong sides, but on different tasks.

Galaxy S is no match for N900 as it has no HW keyboard.
Next question?

I render this comparison a waste of time.
Nokia are a business and have chosen a path of using the OSS community phenomenon to reduce their overheads specifically after sales support and development. Unlike Apple who do the opposite and make a killing from their Applications store.
