    An essay like this needs a citation.

    >>I am currently in the market for a netbook which I would use solely for taking notes for my college classes.<<

    If you plan to use it "solely" for taking notes, why don't you just get a regular 10" netbook, instead of a 3.5" tablet?

    capacitive touchscreen is not an issue as the n900 has the best resisitive screen out there.

    there are other devices out there, but none quite match the n900 still. it is still a good device and if you can find one second hand or new discounted it would be a good buy.

    there is a strong possibility that the N900 sucessor will be announced at the end of next week. even if it is it will probably not hit the shelves for at least a couple of months.

    the n900 is still a unique device and will be a relevant device which will be well supported by the community for a long time to come.

    I was leaning this way myself. However, I will probably wait For the N900 at this point. I'd like to purchase a device soon, but I can wait until the next academic year. I use a LiveScribe pen to allow another student to take notes for me. I would like to cut down on the number of device and my dependence on other students. So, I'll wait until the next academic year at the latest.

    As I mentioned above, I am trying to carry less, having a device which could serve 99% of my mobile computing needs is better than a not-much-more-powerful netbook which would take up more space.

    Thank you! Your post was very helpful. Depending on the release dates, feature set, and price point, I may very well purchase the N900 successor. I hope that Nokia will stick with ARM rather than an Intel chipset. From what I've read, ARM still wins out when comparing performance vs power usage.

    On another note, how does MeeGo compare to Maemo from a feature and development set? Does it have a strong development community yet?

It would be very appealing to have a fully capable, 3G cell phone with the power and versatility of a netbook. While it might be awkward to use it as a regular phone, the kickstand design would be perfect for quickly placing it on a desk to type notes with a small Bluetooth keyboard...
    Hmm. The n900 is perfect as a regular phone (not awkward at all!), but is somewhat awkward for simply taking notes. I love my n900, and I do take notes with it, but mainly in situations where carrying a large piece of electronics is too cumbersome. I also have a second-hand HP netbook, and let me tell you the HP has an unbelievably comfortable keyboard for such a small device.

    For taking notes in a classroom, honestly, a decent netbook will serve you better (and be much less expensive) than any of the current handheld devices out there.
