The Pre 3 would be very nice also, but the HP announcement sealed the deal for the worse.

Have been using an android for a few weeks, a Samsung Nexus S. Its not bad, has some interesting points in favor, and i am sure i would appreciate it more if i was blind to the whole smartphone scene...and if i had never used an N900. :-)

The N900 was a milestone in development and approach, no matter how haters, critics or whoever wants to take a stab at it, decide to name it. I never used anything close to it and i am sure i never will, judging from the looks of things in the mobile OS world.

The N9 has been tempting to get, but the lack of hardware keyboard is a bit of a turn off, since, after the N900, i cant get used to a soft keyboard. Before i was the proud owner of the Palm Treos, from the 600 onwards - 650 and 680, and i loved the things. They also had hardware keyboards.

The galaxy with keyboard might be a good thing. Although i remember reading something about it being only available on At&T? Maybe its a proprietary offer? I am from Portugal so i am not so sure it will ever turn out here. And the price is always a turn off on those things. I payed 600 euros for my N900 and it is worth that much. The same value for a galaxy...with android..hmm, doesnt feel right. :-) And i wont even mention the iphone. Thats a definitive no, for about 72 reasons.

And to be honest, this talk about other OS, and other smartphone line of evolution, it makes me feel like a cheater, hehe. I do love my N900 and Maemo, and i laugh at all the iphone android here that insist on telling me how great their platform is. ;-)

No flame intended, i simply get a lot of idiots with the wrong kind of arguments. :-) They all have their good points, but for my personal use and interest, none beats the N900.
