Ok. So after a couple of years taking care of my n900 as a baby, I lower my guard once and I got my microusb port broken. I took it for repairing, I got it soldered again by some electronic student friend in his lab, and my usb wont charge again. After using it with an external charger the experience sucked so much, combined with the lack of support of some providers like Skype (since I video call a lot), I replaced it with a Galaxy Nexus.
Pros of the nexus:
Perfomance (new hardware) screen, weight, confort in the pocket, and OS refiniement (Jelly bean) is top grade, and battery perfomance.
CONS: NO KEYBOARD! and the market suck incredibly.
Really. Im struggling to find USEFUL applications in the android market. 99% of the apps seems to be fart-type apps.
Yeah android has a "market full of apps" but they mostly suck. And when they not, they are 3g oriented, means that you have to have internet. So its a "CONSUMER" device, while the n900 excels at CREATING as well as consuming.
Android is shiny, but n900 is really useful, when you do more than update FB status.
I made a trip with my n900 and used it as my travel asist phone. And the usability that I had, I can't find the right apps for replicating the same functionality on my nexus. So much that I'm tempted to get a second usb-working n900 just because of the uniqueness of the device.
Maybe there are decent useful apps on android but they are really really hard to find.
Anyway I'm writing this rant to say thanks to all the developers comunity that made such awesome support to the N900.
The grass appears to be always greener on the other side, but until one goes to the other side you realize that it was just appareances.
