I am not asking for elitist criticism about how much better this apparently is than other smartphones, and yes, it is a mobile computer, that's great and all, I owned one, it was a great device, with severely outdated hardware.
The current asking price for it, if you are going to keep using hardware that was outdated even when this project was in conceptual stages, I believe is not fair.
A 1ghz single core ARM processor, still does not compare to even the 1ghz Pentium 3 in my old IBM Thinkpad R30, due to ARM processors generally having less performance per mhz.
RAM will not solve all of the N900's flaws, but even having an addition core at the lowly 1ghz, will greatly mitigate them and make this actually valid in the modern world.
As said, I don't mean to criticize the amazing work you people have done, I just don't feel that, in it's current state, it's worth the asked price, when the hardware was outdated in 2011.
Edit: Please correct me if any of this information is incorrect, I don't mean to offend anyone through this, and have seen quite volatile and elitist replies, that do not consider other people can have different opinions, in the past.
