The n900 is just too slow in almost everything. And I know some of you will argue that if it had quad cores and 2GBs of ram it would be fast too... Well it doesn't.
I was able to load theverge mobile site, scroll down and hit "full site", load that and reload SIX times before the n900 was able to load the full site once, on my iphone 5. And I imagine a modern android phone will be just as fast.
Not to mention the terrible battery life, bad camera, low quality lcd, resistive touch screen and chunkiness.
The world has simply passed the n900 by, sadly. I did love it back in 2009.
For me I don't see too many people really claiming that the N900 is truly a better all around option today, just lamenting the fact that Maemo is still superior in so many ways compared to Android, iOS, and WP8...and wishing there was hardware available to match the OS.
