As far as I know, all mobile devices sold today are pretty much 'fully programmable', even iPhones. Well, except probably those low end ROM based devices.

What we need that will come very soon is a completed os with a proper platform structure unlike the one we have at the moment as the development platform used in the 900 and if you look at developments currently underway for the 900 you will soon see things will come together eventually.
There is a thread on here that goes on about this but i don't have the time to find it right now, its something to do with Nokia's future development, wait till i get back later and i will find it ok.
My only concern and i have said this before is whilst we are waiting the hardware is getting outdated in our device but i have some idea's that i will bring forward soon regarding upgrading the camera to 12mp and my own work not mentioned before about overclocking but with protection against overheating.
And also there is djsteve's droid thread that's interesting to watch.
Anyhow later as i got to go go go.

And 'things will come together eventually' seems very... very... vague.

Ok. If you remember who posted it or some of the keywords mentioned there, that would help also.

IMHO, the hardware is generally fine.
I don't see mobile apps going exponentially more complex and blood thirsty (cpu wise), so I'm betting that Cortex A8 will have a relatively long lifetime for 90% of mobile apps that will come up out there. UNLESS, one tries to do desktop computing on it (hooked to external monitor, etc).

Re: Sell your N900 and buy an Android phone!

maybe , if there was an Android phone with similar hardware to n900

Here is something you will learn from and something Nokia no way implemented on the OS of the 900 simply because the 900's os was developed for developers use.
Its all about PROPER structuring of an os so please read ok.

heard the milestone was a fail compared to N900

Re: Sell your N900 and buy an Android phone!

My brother has the HTC Desire. It's quite nice. I would like to have it when maemo could be installed :P

Re: Sell your N900 and buy an Android phone!

Now a better version of QT has arrived, this should bring cross platform apps for both symbian and maemo... Symbian has a LOT of apps, so its only a matter of time before all those start appearing for Maemo, wouldn't jump ship just yet!

Re: Sell your N900 and buy an Android phone!

i think the best would be that the best codedr who are develops with the n900 come together and say bye bye maemo and bye bye meego... and then lets develop a good working android for n900 and other nokia devices.... lets give nokia a kick in the ***.....
