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?
A spec sheet really? I told you. Specs mean nothing. What I want is specific fields where the Samsung Note will beat the N950. Eg: The N950 takes x seconds to open a webpage, Samsung note takes x seconds. The N950 can last x hours, Samsung Note can last X hours. But more importantly, I want to compare how android fares against meego.

And my analogy is not flawed. Both are vehicles that roam the roads. One is faster straight and the other at cornering. YOUR analogy is wrong. You can't fit an X86 on a mobile, as they are intended for desktops. Different use case. You can however fit a Viper engine on a bike (Dodge Tomahawk). But I don't care about analogies. How does the Samsung Note beat the N950?

I am talking mainly about:
Browsing - Speed, Rendering, Supported Content etc..
Video Playing - eg: 720p mkv with audio stream switching would be nice
Multitasking - Eg: can I open webpages and until they load do something else?
IM handling - Can I log into multiple accounts (fb, skype, gtalk)? How are they handled?
Ease of use - General feel of the system. But this one I would have to evaluate myself.
Typing speed - Which one is more comfortable to type with and faster?
Music - Which has the better player and sound?
Mail - Which one is handled better?

These are the main things I want in my phone. The N900 does nearly all of them, I would be happy if the new model does exactly the same as the N900, just faster. To reiterate..I wish it had more RAM. But the reality is I have to switch soon. So how do both devices fare at the previous points?

There are other advantages like terminal, camera etc, but those are minor needs.
