I love everything about the N900, except for the speed and battery. UNLESS I ONLY use it as a phone. If I use it as a phone, it's fast enough, but if I start integrating Skype, Google and Facebook chat into the interface (as Maemo was designed to be used), suddenly the phone is slow and the battery dies too quickly. I understand that with the Neo900 the battery will be swap on the go and bigger capacity.

However, even if I overclock my N900 to 1.1GHZ, it's still super slow. According to the list, the CPU is one of the least expensive parts, so why is it not possible to get a 2GHZ processor at least, I know there will be more ram, but it will be a much smoother user experience with a faster CPU.

I would love to see benchtests of an N900 overclocked to 1.1 GHZ vs. the new 1GHZ chip with 1GB of ram on the Neo900. Obviously the ram will be an upgrade, but considering we have the same speed basically in terms of CPU in our N900 I don't know if it will be that much faster. It's basically taking the specs of the N9 in someways and putting them in the N900 vs. taking more modern specs. Granted, we might not need that much power, but still, even the N9 lags a bit...
