Desire does duty as a backup phone when
i've killed the battery on the N900 (moreso now because I'm playing with daily N900 DE builds and constantly rebooting)

Don't get me wrong. the reason I got my N900 was the keyboard.
We are starved for hwkb alternatives in Australia with most of the decent android hwkb devices missing our shores.

I guess I'm also lucky enough to be able to afford to upgrade every 6-12 months.
Part of the reason why I'll probably end up getting the harmattan device (and the HP3 if it supports 850/2100 UMTS), oh and the Fujitsu Loox (just to see if i can wipe WP7 and dual boot Meego and symbian!)
