No one said they would be. No one said the iPhone or G1 would be for everyone. The OP says that the iPhone fits him better than the NIT. I said that the G1 fits me better than the NIT (currently). We each pick the device that best suits us at the time. And we reserve the right to change that choice when our needs change, or the device capabilities change.

If there's a Maemo device that has PIM, SyncML and/or contacts/calendar sync to Google, and FULL cell phone capability; before there's an Android device that has tethering, d-pad, and better battery life; maybe I'll switch back.

But, if Android and Android devices keep making better progress than Maemo and Maemo devices, then why would I switch back? (why would anyone switch back? why would anyone who consider those missing features to be important stay?)
