The N900 was a real Linux phone. In fact I used that phone for two whole years, I have never used a phone that long. The N9 is sexy and all, but it has kind of lost it's charm on me. There's only so much you can do with it, at least in a practical sense. So all in all it is no better than the N8, and the N8 got more apps and much better camera, and better UI, FM Transmitter, HDMI, USB2go and so on. The N900 was no flagship, it was The Linux phone. Good specs for it's time, but no flagship at all. The 808 got it all. A monster camera, and everything else of the goodies the N8 got.

I kind of like Android also, but I don't like the way all the "flagships" are headed. They are jerking themselves to death with quad cores running 2+ Ghz on 5+ inches displays, for what? Making a note on Facebook or Twitter about the newest shiny and using half of the battery capacity while doing it? It is madness.

The N900 was the first and only real Linux smartphone (so far). The 808 looks to be the last real smartphone for a long time. Nokia is soon all WP. Maybe WP will evolve into a real smartphone OS, maybe not. Maybe it will only die a slow death.

I only got my gut feeling, and it tells me that something cool is brewing over at Samsung/Intel camp
