How true...
After over 2 years of tweaking, the N800 now satisfies my wants and needs. A faster processor and more robust OS on an N900 would be swell.

A faster wireless connection that doesn't require a contract with a service provider would also be dandy and although the screen is physically smaller, I consider it an upgrade in quality and it retains the WVGA format of my locally stored HTML. The loss of a d-pad means that I won't have access to 5 mappable software functions at the push of a button but perhaps the keys on a keyboard can provide for this.

For me, anything more or less than this in an N900 would involve trade offs and may not be worth the added expense. In that case, I'll keep the N800 and move on.

Jay, I once saw a hybrid of ^these two still in use in a bar. It was mounted on a post and had all the features of the older one with the addition of a rotary dial mounted below the mic... I have been looking for one ever since.
