On N900 you can start searching by starting to type on homescreen. Is it possible to change this to search through device in apps, contacts, memo and calendar?

Not sure if that has ever been requested, but that sounds like a pretty neat idea/request.

The outdated hardware on Neo900 is going to happen - But what will make it great is the optimisations and software build FOR the hardware and vise versa (similar to iOS/iPh).

Look at the Open Pandora - Same hardware, yet some of the software runs so much better on the single core OP then on my big *** quad core android phone.
Like PPSSPP, N64 PSX etc..

If OP adopted Maemo - Awesome! Would be better than LXDE IMO.

Would it help making the visuals in maemo lower resolution? Will device get faster by doing that?

Even though I still have never (ever!) touched an iOS or Windows (Mobile or Phone) device and only have barely used my wife's S3 mini (Android 4.1?) I have always had that feeling (that "this is still a feature phone" feeling), and I thank you for explaining that feeling so brilliantly.
