I'm buying a N8
What do you think...should I keep my N900 or sell it online..

In your opinion which phone is the best??

They're completely different devices, so comparing them is a bit silly.

i own both, and love them both but i went back to the n900 cause i need push email, internet.

The n8 is a great phone. I liked symbian very much, its easy to use and extremely practical. However if you put spb shell on there the n8 looks and runs amazing. I got mine just for the camera.. And when i hooked it via hdmi to the tv, the pictures and videos looked crystal clear. Ovi map gps works very well, so as a multimedia device the n8 is a brilliant phone.

But as a beginner, i have not seem anything as simple and wonderful to use as maemo 5 and the n900 fits my needs perfectly.

At the end its up to you, but i would keep both. N900 for everyday, n8 when you go out

As a phone N8's gr8.
As a smartphone, N8 is mediocre (its a capable device with one major flaw) and I'd put it on the same field as:
-Samsung Wave (best available features - lack of apps/anything)
-BB's (excellent phoning/txt/email/corporate - lack of entertainment
-An android phone from 2009, like CLIQ (perfect everything - but lacks the grunt+software for apps).

i have both. but i gotta say that n900 is better coz of the useful stuff it has that the n8 won't ever have like faircrack, psfreedom, great browser and speed.

the only things i like abt my n8 are the anodized aluminum housing and bright amoled gorilla glass display. for a form factor that has no hardware keys, it does not have a portrait qwerty which sucks a lot coz i always have to tilt it sideways just to access the qwerty.

sometimes i just wish that the 2 devices were fused together lol.

personally I would never sell my n900 there is still no replacement atm. maybe a complement but not a replacement. n900 = computer, n8 = smartphone

I think N900 is the best!

1- N900 is not a phone.
2- N900 is better than anything, at the moment. If you see, when there was no tablet with 1 GHz speed, N900 was there.. Even right now after so much time, all advance phones and tablets have that processor speed...

One question why are you buying an N8 now if you already own an N900, as it seems a backward step to me? Especially now there is going to be no long term Nokia support for Symbian.
