would you buy a new N900 now or wait for the Dell Mini 5 ?

Re: N900 vs Dell Mini 5 ???
I trust Dell as much as I trust a £5 hooker not to give me an STD......
Thats +1 for N900 if you were wondering. |
Re: N900 vs Dell Mini 5 ???
I've already bought an N900. If the Dell Mini 5 had already been out I'd have bought the N900 anyway.
I don't think you are going to find a Dell Mini 5 fun here... |

As a phone, I think a case can be made for a platform that is well integrated but limiting. I don't need my toaster to run Mutt, so I'm content with it not being open and extensible. But... Once I get past the utility of a phone, any computing device other than that (like a tablet, or a netbook), I find Android to be much less compelling. This forum is predominantly made up of people who enjoy tinkering, who want their device to do whatever it is they think it should be able to do (not what the manufacturer thinks it should do, or the carrier). That is a powerful paradigm. |
Re: N900 vs Dell Mini 5 ???
part of my dilemma is that I am looking for the device to be primarily an internet device which would mean browsing, skype, gps, etc and a cell phone a distant second - and I want to be able to have these things with a basic phone plan, not a data plan.
does the N900 fall into these possibilities? |

Many people find the built in GPS application not very useful. Good third party GPS (both paid and free) should eventually be available. |

sorry should have clarified that -
no on the data plan - yes on the wi-fi - that would be the primary connection to the internet - browsing, skype, etc. |
