- No keyboard. How come? Way to blow it...
- My N900 can go at 1.15GHz too.
- No desktop. This is the new way of UI-s: nothing in the system, just a fancy application launcher, just like iOS or WP7. This is as far away from the original NIT concept as is gets. I can think of my N810 or N900 as a scaled down linux box, but not on this one.
- New UI is even more strictly closed than Maemo.
- No FM transmitter, no IR. So nobody uses televisions I guess, of FM in their car.
- No resistive screen -> no Mypaint, no easydebian anymore (this was kinda coming, I admit, but dang it, add an active digitalizer layer like in the HTC Flyer!)
- Fixed battery. Nobody expects this to go on for 2 days on a charge with a poweruser. Also no more Mugen battery and hackability options.
- Until I see a terminal with root access, this is no better off than an iDevice in my eyes.

I admit, it looks good, it seems to be a nice phone, but the N900 was so much more, than a mere phone. This is in league with the Android and iDevice crowd, and that was the point of it, I know, but in the meantime it lost its own appeal. Now I can go out and choose a qwerty Android. Or keep my N900 till it falls apart.
