I don't like Android much. The N900 still functions well and I love it, but 1GB of RAM is much needed. Meego seems the best upgrade right now, but I don't want to buy an abandoned phone. Not again.

So to go back to my original question: how does Note/Android beat N950/Meego?

I've been searching comparisons for days now. I can only find reviews of meach model, but a side by side comparison is much better.

And specs mean nothing. A dual core CPU is useless if not needed. People always think bigger is better. But it might be massive overkill too.

Just think about this: a 1300cc Suzuki Hayabusa will leave an 8400 cc Dodge Viper in the dust. Bigger is NOT always better.. You have to keep the use cases in mind.

BTW your analogy of the motorbike to the car is FLAWED. Comparing those two is symmetrical to comparing an ARM SoC to an x86 CPU. Obviously the x86 has more grunt but the ARM would win due to definite design advantages i.e. SoC

I would say the analogy your looking for is more like comparing two cars one with sports tyres (lots of grip) and one that is stock (and slightly deflated). The first car needs less power to overtake the second car, but how much is the difference in tyre effeciency compared to the power (SoC) compensation?
