After using my Lumia 900 since early April, and now having it in at Nokia Care, I'm back on the N900 for the time being.
In between I had been using HTC Vision, with plenty of Android goodness. But alas, until Android 4.0 which I barely ran due to compatibility and stability issues, it all kinda looked and felt half-baked.
My N900 still feels good in the hand, using it as I type this -- oh the joy to have qwerty again, damn do I still hate touch keyboards! There's the half-baked feel with this one also, but the N900 gets a pass, because of its inherent capabilities. I don't mind the screen tearing with Opera, or a random boot because of starving profile with OC at 900MHz. With true Linux box in your pocket, much is forgiven.
So do I want the Lumia back amidst all this CSSU-sudo-apt-get upgrade bliss? You bet. While the N900 is still my mobile device king, for me it takes away the focus from reading/texting/talking, because in the end, I'm not a sys.admin who needs server access in my fingertips, or a devel writing apps for the community (thank you again for the awesomeness of this community btw); no, my mobile use is far more simpler. I actually like dumbphones now more than ever. I get to play with Mac OS on my hackintosh, run and play with various Linux distros under VM, while tinkering with Arch Linux on an early-2000 IBM ThinkPad. My phone can, no,
needs
to be simple, a dumbphone. And the Lumia 900, and no doubt the 920 with WP8 would as well, fits the bill: a sleek, well-made, "it just works" (well, excluding my Lumia's USB data connection... Wait, a Nokia something-900 with a USB issue, this rings a bell...), robust
dumbphone
by Nokia.
Perfect.
