I was a happy user of both N8xx models but I lost my last Maemo4 device and now on the one hand I am thinking in buy a N810 again, install all the software I had installed, including the linux distribution; easydebian.
and on the other hand I could move to a more advanced device such as N900, N9 is out of my scope because has no keyboard.

My question is,

do you think N900 can replace a Maemo4 internet tablet?
should I consider to have both devices at same time?

What about GarnetVM for emulate Palm applications;which I was using in N8xx?

Is possible to execute Nokia maps?
is there any way to emulate symbian apps?
what about java? (it was missing in Maemo4)

I would appreciate your ideas and suggestions, I would like to resist to move to Android but Nokia is not helping me...
