I've read that the Pandora lasts about one week in standby and about a day in what desktop users call an "office scenario".
If the Pyra reaches similar results it would be pretty close to an N900.

What's a ringer, other than some method to play a sound on an incomming call? I guess that would be possible to implement in SW.

True. But there are tons of headsets out there.

Very good point! I guess I should try to talk the devs into implementing an additional LED.
edit: The Pyra will have a configurable backlit logo in its display cover, so notifications on incomming/missed calls/messages should be possible:

Well, the Neo900 would certainly be the better phone.
But frankly I'm not looking for a phone. I'm looking for a "netbook" that fits into my jacket pocket. Phoning is a necessary but minor task it needs to accomplish.
The Neo900 seems like a good candidate for that task but the Pyra looks even better (due to higher screen resolution and more complete keyboard).
Personally I see myself using the Pyra in winter (when I wear a jacket) and the Neo900 in summer (when I don't wear a jacket and the device needs to fit in my jeans pocket).
