The ability to use bluetooth car kit (Nokia) without the other side getting echo of their own voice. Voice dialling for use in the car.

Separate battery door, as in N95. I am getting Mugen 2400 mAh battery, but lens cover will go at the same time, as the Mugen battery door does not have it. I guess it will be the same with any 3rd party max-battery, they do not make lens covers to their custom back covers.

Also, in original N95, microSD was easily accessible without removing the back cover.

I tried N97 for awhile in foreign city, and digital compass is very usefull with Nokia/Ovi Maps. I wonder why they leaved so cheap little part out of N900.

N810 had sometimes very usefull OTG-host mode in the USB-port. It is not absolutely clear yet, hackers are working on it, but seems like there is some odd design choices, because the chipset would support OTG, but the circuit board and design probably not.

I would not mind to have DVB-H in N900 also, as in N96.

One thing in software-wise what I miss the most, is Java ME support. Lots of JME applications which I used in N95 are now missing. JME is the most multiplatform compatible software platform still, so it amazes abit why Nokia chose to leave it out....and also why QT-Jambi development was canceled.

coming from e71 then e72

portrait one handed sms/im
ovi maps 3 with turn by turn
webdav client
per contact ringtone


it says a lot for the n900 that it is good enough otherwise for me to forgo these features for now. I still put my sim in my e72 if I am going to be on the road for a few days since it has nav and is WAY better for in car use. I still take the n900 and just use it on wifi when needed. On shorter trips, the n900 is really taking the place of my laptop now.

From my Treo 650:

- System-wide search - and the N900 has no calendar search at all. This is the top issue for me.

- A few PIM issues such as the lack of task description and alarm setting granularity.

- Proper IR port. It was handy for copying infrared remotes, although I hardly use that anymore.

- Slick UI. On the Treo you could do everything through the keyboard OR the touchscreen (with Graffiti Anywhere you could write with gestures). On the N900 just one or the other won't do the job. The Treo's interface felt like it was highly optimized for everyday use, everything just felt natural. But to be fair the N900 is more of a mobile computer than a PDA like the Treo was.

- Battery life. The N900 will barely make it from morning to night in a best case scenario, and if you use it like a laptop it runs down the battery like a laptop.

Overall the Treo felt like a better PDA/smartphone, but I still prefer the N900. Its better browsing, multimedia and computing capabilities more than make up for its shortcomings as a PDA/smartphone.

'Erminig' for N900 (not the GPE version for previous NITs) will sync any Google calendar to any N900 calendar. Tried finding a link for you, but as usual the mameo.org search (and power search) won't find it.

It does exist though - I use it and it's great (you have to sync manually though...).
