From its specs, Neo900 is definitely going to be THE device after N900.
My only small gripe about N900 is the battery life. I would wish Neo900 to have more battery life, if possible. Otherwise I will just carry an extra battery as I do now.
All the best.
Thanks! :-)
Battery standby time is a huge problem with *all* smartphones, and not much we can do about bigger battery. But what I just put on my ToDo list is: consider support for convenient seamless hotswapping of battery.

cheers

Note to self: 2mF@12V(RS232?) -> LDO_4.3V -> fuse -> (OVP to GND) -> FET switch controlled by BSI -> battery. Should allow trained user to do sub-second hotswapping, when device in power reduced mode (flight mode, screen blank, no audio or vib, <50mA current from bat)
