The topic (N900 specifications) is inherent about the future. The post you replied to was partly about that in-a-few-months-present and how that is going to be the backwards compatibility of tomorow. Nobody took out your little toy either (802.11abg), and the WWAN you used in 1997 (GPRS) is quality and price wise different than WWAN we (many, many people compared to the number of people who share your experience) have now. And for most of those people it is going like this: WWAN: GSM + HSPA -> LTE. A minority will use WiMAX. And some will use WiFi (802.11abgn) or BlueTooth 3.0, but these are for different purposes because they're WLAN. You, like anyone else, are free to opt usage of WLAN or WWAN technology your device provides. Or buy a device which only provides you the technologies you want. So basically what you and many other nay-sayers want is something like Maemo or Mer as OS, 800x480 screen, OMAP3, 256 MB RAM, dpad, stylus, resistive screen, 2 SD cards, 802.11abg. Sounds like something from past if you ask me... but you want it (typical of mid life crisis, people tend to stick in the past ). Well then why not design that or buy something which suits your needs most.......
