Not sure...Each time I feel the need to go back (N97), each time it`s a painful reminder of S60 5th ed. indispositions even though served on much brighter and despite the lower resolution, significantly crispier screen. The reason I go back? Primarily for N97`s potent GPS (I AM SO MAD @ NOKIA FOR MAKING OVI MAPS FREE AND EXCLUDING N97 OWNERS W/N900 FOLLOWING!!!! THAT`S UNACCEPTABLE!), and perhaps to your surprise, I am using it for it`s size allows me to carry it in my armband case while running and listening to the music. I am currently satisfied with my N900, but without voice guidance in OVI in the future, HTC HD2 is becoming more and more tempting successor to the phone I will miss next

Still use my N82, because TomTom works on that one

As soon as Sygic becomes available, I think I'll stop using my N82.

My old phone was an iPhone and I barely used it's "advanced" features due to its closeness. I'm a really really happy N900 user.

that's not really a solution is it, it took less than 1 second to navigate the menu to the notes app, i can't be bothered to use easy debian just for quick note taking..

last phone own was the 5800mx and the only thing i miss the most is one hand texting, people would say resistive screen texting isn't fast but boy can i prove them wrong with the help of the number pad t9.

Used to carry my N95 around a lot when I first got the N900 but these days, I only carry the N900 on me..( It has been over 2 weeks since I last used my N95). I am sure, I will need it when I need to drive to a place unknown to me...

Had an Sony Ericsson K800i before. Not even a close match to the N900 of course.
Only thing i miss is using it for four to five days without having to charge. And maybe the xenon flash but i cant really compare. Haven't made many photos with the N900 yet.

I swtiched from N95 to N900. I don't regret it but there are things I miss about the N95:

- One-handed use!!!
- Not touchscreen, therefore no fingerprints all over the screen
- Turn-by-turn navigation in many flavors(Ovi, Garmin, Sygic, TomTom, etc) although none of them speak street names
- Google voice search, google local search using GPS, Google Maps. It is really useful.
- Abundance of free and paid apps, Games, J2ME support
- Buttons! Using joystick/keypad to navigate menus and programs (I was shocked N900 forces you to touch the screen in almost all places, despite having a qwerty keyboard and running landscape-only)
- Could play music and use the phone at the same time without it stopping and stuttering (N900 music player sucks...)
- Mobbler!
- An actual menu structure with folders that you could customize
- SlingPlayer. My slingbox is now a useless device :-/
- N95 has better stereo speakers than N900 in my opinion
- Easily accessible MicroSD slot that doesn't require me to rip the back cover off
- Front camera is actually usable, for example skype video chat works great


Things I like better in N900 than N95:
- The speed! Everything is so much faster in general.
- The screen! The high resolution is awesome.
- Linux! I use it as my primary desktop OS so having it on my phone makes me very comfortable. Having perl in my phone is sweet, and I look forward to making some Qt programs for my N900.
- UI is generally better-looking and easier to use than S60v3, (except for the menu which is better on N95).
- The web browser is better in just about every possible way
- USB 2.0. (N95 was uselessly slow in mass storage mode.)
- qwerty keyboard is better than numbers-only keypad, even though I think N900 keyboard layout really sucks in general. I hate when reviews say it has a "full qwerty keyboard". A keyboard that is lacking numbers and an apostrophe key is not "full" in my book. It has the letters of the English alphabet and that's about it. (After 1 month of use on my N900 I still type slower than I did with T9 mode on my N95.)
- app manager is infinitely better than symbian version

Nope... but have fond memories of my 6610's wobbly keyboard and half-broken speaker will live on
