Two years? Did you steal a prototype from Nokia or something since it has only been available for 18 months.:p

I have a N900 yet.
My brother's N900 was stolen and he earn a E7 so I prefere my N900 (for the OS, the apps' and the keyboard) but the E7 have a very cute design!

And it's impossible to put MeeGo or Maemo on E7...

I'm waiting for the N950 with MeeGo, E7 design-like and N900's keyboard (with arrows for AZERTY).

Also, there is no way to get all the drivers for Maemo anyways.

Even though N900 was released back in 2009, its hardware is still competitive.
Also, even now, it's pretty much the only one with 32GB onboard plus MicroSD support.

I bet the good old n97 users would disagree....:cool:

That also saved my *** as external USB memory several times.
I am using my N900 with 32GB SD card class 4 up to now without problems. Which other smartphone has 64GB total? ;-)

The diverse calendar applications never made any problems
for business for me. I can send my calendar dates as ical files
from Outlook so I do not need that crappy MS/Nokia synchro stuff.

With "Documents to Go" I can even handle Microsoft Office 2007
documents.
I can also use PDF documents, I can scetch new ideas with scetch
application and mypaint, I can sign PDFs with Xournal.
Email works.

So for me nothing is missing for business.

Probably you're right with 18 mos. Life with N900 has being so easy that I cannot (or don't want) even remember an era without it..;)

But thanks for detailing!

The N97 was the crappiest device I've ever bought, and the only one I've sold :)

I am a noob here , since I have an N900 I see any other phone as a toy .

Why not the otherway around? N900 with Symbian OS lol. Symbian never have any Cortext Processor, always with the lower end processor like Arm11.

If N900 can runs symbian then we could have had better support.
