what are the disadvantages of one x apart from the non removable battery and no slot for micro sd card? iphone also has non removable battery and no micro slot. 32gb is more than enough

ok, this part is just pure b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t, can be true only if the n900 wasnt properly used and is insulting for any maemo fanboy(me)
especially part about applications because saying 1000000 applications is better than 500 is just stupid, quality over quantity here, especially since android cant run gnu applications of which every is worth 10000 java ones that android runs :P
there arent that many games here, but 3ds is 150$(so much cheaper than a new phone) and beats anything that fits into a pocket in that segment anyways
for camera you need to buy 808 or at least n8, no android has significantly better camera than n900
and n900 is slow sometimes in the PERCEIVED speed, so the ui part mostly, but the fact is that it does most jobs faster than any android

if you want android beacause it a better toy than our workhorse than go for it, but dont you come here talking like this about my baby!

I don't see him saying 1000000 apps is better than 500. I hear him say that the apps he's after is not to find on the MeeGo platform and hence he's looking for a devuce that'll give him that.

I agree if you want the most out of N900/N9 you have to do alot of modding/xterming to get there, even some basic things and if your getting tired of that you seek elsewhere to cut that part out.

There's a good amount of quality apps on both android and ios especially if you're into gaming.

To the OP I can only say read some reviews and try them out in a store. Find out what you're exactly looking for in the device as in the apps and it'll be clear wich to choose.

Bought a Galaxy Nexus Prime for the girlfriend to replace her aging n900. It's a lot cheaper than the One X, while being almost the same (a bit weaker on the CPU/GPU side).

Needless to say she's blown away by it and didn't really touch the n900 ever since.

This thread is funny. Funny in that so many people turn phones into religion. I prefer the purely gadgeteer approach of seeing each as a toy to be dorked with, and this dorking, hacking, etc. far more fun than any apps :). I even still toss my SIM into my old E72 as that's a great keyboard. Even fired up the E75 last night but man was that slow by today's standards.

Personally, I'm hoping to get my first non-tablet Android toy in the next month or two and leaning toward the S3 even though I know I'll still use the N9 for highbrow outings and the Pre3 with its Mugen 2800 mAh battery for overseas trips when having 2-3 solid days of power on a single charge can come in handy.

(side note: I didn't realize the One X didn't have a removable battery - that sucks)
