In that case he/she will be in a perpetual wait.

Okay. It's simple:
Buy a N900 now and at the end of 2010 the next Device (N920 or something like this)

Nokia needs the support and the money. ;)

Try to get some time with a n900 to make your own mind about it.

Expect to spend the first 10-15 minutes being impressed by the device, being linux and quite speedy in such a small form factor. You'll need longer than that to see past the shine and find the deficiencies, then decide if you can live with them or not for the price.

The problem is I don't know where can I 'get some time with it'. The shops that sell it here will only let you try it within the store and almost always, there's no charged phone on display. :confused:

Well, if you can't spend some time with it, read some moaning threads in the forum. :D
If the N900 is still likeable for you, then buy it. (Also note that most of the bugs will be fixed in PR 1.2, and later.)

I recommend to simply ignore all the FUD and the stuff about MeeGo, because most of the news about that is misinformation. (And it is already known that the applications will be backwards compatible, and (most of) the current ones are forward compatible.)

dont go for winmo 7, it as no multi-tasking, no copy&pase, also microsoft rules are phones using Winmo 7 will not have microSd slots or changeable battery, they are trying to make cloned iphones it seems
