Why mini-HDMI when the way forward is clearly DLNA /Airplay? most of the world has hdmi on their hd tv so dont talk rubish
Triband LTE? Do you want 4 hours of battery life?
FM transmitter? FM is going to die in 2015 (UK) 2017 (Norway and Germany) what has this got to do with my phone TRANSMITTING FM signal?

No one will make another Maemo5 device. You can accept that fact and contribute to opening the Maemo6 device, which has *some* of the things you want. And has a brand new battery just off the factory line still with full designed capacity and an unbroken (for now) micro-USB port. that device is crap when compared to n900

The N900 community has given that amazing device the care Nokia couldn't spare for it. But you're not getting a like-for-like replacement. "Mobile" split completely between tablets and phones.

ten chars!
How is resistive better? More precision? Can be used with gloves? Cons: Needs a stylus or a fingernail. Only one point can be measured (two with limitations), no multi-touch.

"Vertical" resolution? Not in portrait mode. If the UI does not reserve 100 pixels on top with an information bar, it's already better.

I really want a huge and thick HDMI cable between my couch, where I'm trying to hold my phone in my hands, and the TV. And I really want it coiled under or behind the TV when I'm not using it. Do you have a wife? Kids? A cat? Most TVs come with DLNA now.

When FM broadcasting is turned off, what do you think will happen to the FM radio spectrum? It'll be sold for other digital uses, like the Analog TV bands were sold for 4G mobile. Think you'll be able to use FM transmitters then? The bands will be filled with digital "static"!

The N900 is a great mini-computer. The last of the breed. They're gone, they're called tablets now. The closest to the N900 is a Galaxy Note. With 5 inches, you can have a soft keyboard permanently there. Port Nemo to the Note. Or wait for Nokia to disappear and raid the Espoo headquarters to get the Maemo source code.
