It's almost the same price as the N9 is going to be
BUT you get
1) Better resolution
2) Bigger screen
3) Triple boot OS
4) I imagine removable battery
5) Card slot
6) KKKKKKEEEEEEEEYYYYYYBBBBBOOOAAAARRRDDD
7) Kickstand that works even when device is flipped upside down
8) 2 USB ports
9) HDMI out
10) Windows 7 has been modified to give you 5 home screens
11) Dual core

So apples and oranges this thing seems quite nice.
I mean I like this orange better than that apple.

Sad, but true.

With the N900 Nokia clearly stated its phone and mobile experience directions
Actually they didn't, they called it a "mobile computer" (which while technically correct was very misleading for people coming from previous Maemo devices).

In fact very soon, Apple would be upending the other theory that we held on to and found to be valid so far - that a desktop experience works very well on a desktop like device - with the new Lion OS thats about to change soon.. Yes its will be a slow change to that upending process.
It's a fad, and Apple are coming typically late to it (Canonical and GNOME are way ahead). We will outgrow it, just like we did other such silly notions (fvwm95 anyone?) in the past.

I dont get it on a maemo forum I reading alot how fantastic android is.

On another forums and in real world I hear several people complains about:

Laggy android phones
buggy OS
lack of upgardes of OS from several manufactors (ohh I see not only Nokia has thiis problems with upgrades?
android handset where the phoneaudio is so damn bad so they actually cant use it.

people who get sick of android and sell the phones and buys Iphones instead.

but androidgeeks seems to ignore this facts on TMO.

By this I dont say my N900 is perfect but with this "old hardware" I would say it is better than many androids today. Btw there is not even any good hwkbd androids out in my country yet. only some crap from SE.

Nokia had a regular iterative development cycle for Maemo, just like everyone else, until Diablo. Between 2005-2007 they released 3 devices and 4 major versions of the OS.

Nokia has had an absurdly longer development cycle after that (we're on the second half of 2011 and the only new thing out so far is the N900) because they chose to throw most of their existing development away and start almost from scratch, twice (and there would have been another such upheaval going from Harmattan to MeeGo if they hadn't dumped the whole thing).

That's right! See... introducing the N900 MOBILE COMPUTER!
http://europe.nokia.com/find-product...obile-computer

While at the same time ALSO calling it a mobile phone!
http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products...nes/nokia-n900
http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products/phones/nokia-n900

Sometimes, it seems Nokia is ambivalent about it altogether:

I shall refer you to the great PHONE IS NOT A PHONE war of 2009-2011

I don't get it on any other forum, I've never read a lot how fantastic the n900 is.

On another forums and in real world I hear several people complains about:

Laggy UI when you get a phone call
buggy OS
lack of upgrades of the OS for several months (ooh I see not only some Android phones have this problem with upgrades?)
N900 handset where the microUSB is so damn bad that it actually pulls out.

people who get sick of n900 and sell the phones and buys anything else instead.

but n900 fanatics seems to ignore this facts.

By this I don't say my Motorola Atrix is perfect but with this "new hardware" I would say it is better than many n900's today - especially the broken ones. Btw there is not even any good hwkbd n950's out in any country yet for sale!? only some given to the lucky devs.

game. set. match.
