I am not interested in MHL, 4G or any other fancy features. Just give me a solid, bug free and open N900 that has slightly better specs and good battery life.
An improved microsd slot would also be welcome if it will not increase costs.
Well, in my opinion, this point of view is something that we can't avoid to consider.
Probably, i'm the first one ready to spend a lot of money for great features...
But, OPEN should also mean a device available for many people...also for the ones that can't or don't want spend too much.

So what? Yes, i know, our name is not ZOKIA.. And engineering, production costs.. are really high. BUT we should keep always an eye on modularity and components that could be optional.
The maximum would be have a basic board filled with sockets....just like an upgraded N800 where everyone could add the modules he needs. (gsm module,camera,connectivity module, sdr module.... ...)
This could also ensure some future upgrade of the modules that could be changed when a new technology will become avalable.
