Yeah the Samsung seems to have impressive specs.. i hadn't read about it before.. but my point still remains.. i like a phone with a qwerty keyboard.. when i'm at home i'm constantly in touch with friends via im and sms.. my friend has a htc desire.. i've used it.. it's quick and snappy.. but i hate the layout of android.. it's way less functional than Maemo.. even if some aspects of it are designed a bit better..

We all know Maemo can be a bit rough around the edges but in better hardware i think it could be a lot better.

I'm sure i'd get used to virtual keyboards.. but if i have a choice in the matter, i will always go qwerty..

The only thing i could really complain about with the N900 was the design of the slide out.. when typing out an email or anything that required effort.. it tended to feel a bit awkward..

The design of the E7 corrected this..

It only seems natural for the N9 to follow the same path?
