I'm not using it as my daily phone. But i have it my car sometimes with fm transmitter plus the only one with keyboard so it still have the edge. I like ipad, arc and n900 most so these are my regulars. N9 can't compete with n900 in my book, at least not yet.

Does it read thumb drives like Galaxy S II and our N900 do?

I have the HP touchpad which is often used for light browsing and with the splashtop (rdesktop) app, it is very nice to remote on to my laptop when I am being lazy and have access to all of the ssh/vnc tools work on the n900.

I always carry 2 devices. I have used the N95, i8910, E900 Optimus 7, Wildfire, along with my N900 until recently. Now I've got two N900's

N900 as phone and pocket-computer, and an iPod touch (2nd gen) for gaming. Also an N810 as an internet tablet and eBook reader for its excellent battery life and ability to connect to the N900 over BT for 3G, thou I rarely take that with me, I mostly use it on the couch or while I eat (big UP for the built-in stand).

apart from my other N900, I use N95-1 primarily as an alarm clock. No, its not setup as an ordinary alarm clock but quite similar to evilalarm found on N900.

Though from time to time I may use N95-1 for various things like wireless pentesting (though the phone itself is set as target/victim rather than the attacker) and for double-checking things (when I get into heated debate and my random rantings on how much I loathe symbian at times).

There are only few things I really like on N95-1 that I couldn't find equivalent in N900 though I'm sure the tables could be easily turned if I could develop things instead of keeping age old devices from constantly running.

(edit) as for reading thumb drives on Evo. Don't quote me on this but I thought all android devices should have USB hostmode capability if one installs cyanogen mod I think.

I read somewhere that hacking for USB hostmode was originally conceived from android realms before such ideas fuelled the idea of making such ideas work on other platforms such as maemo (fremantle) platform. Although USB hostmode idea in itself is hardly new though.

Using N950 daily. I rotate a pink N8 and N900 as the secondary device, depending what I'll be doing for the day/week/weekend. Usually ends up with the N900 unless I know I'll be taking pictures.
