Speak for yourself. This is in direct competition with high end apple/android/webos handhelds. If the Motorola Sholes doesn't end up having any major issues, I don't really see much reason to get an n900 over it, nor the other way around.

I haven't taken the time to install the latest maemo5 SDK yet, but I think it is fair to say that at this point Android is more mature, more stable and obviously has a lot more users and apps. If Nokia prices this at $400+ like they did with all the previous ones then it would be a very easy choice to get an Android or WebOS phone instead.
