Amen, sir. I am not a windows mobile fanatic by any means but I do like it. The opportunities for customization/beautification are boundless and for my occupational needs "it just works".

I like Maemo Mapper. I think it's a tremendous accomplishment. But when using my phone I really benefit from the Bing navigation program (used to be Windows Live Search). Skyfire has been mentioned a lot. Documents To Go is a very, very powerful office suite held back only by the device's screen. If I took time I could list dozens more, but I'm rusty since I generally go to the N810 for anything beyond cell phone usage.

I know nothing about Android aside from the cell phone commercials. I like the idea of having the ability to switch between Maemo and Windows Mobile.
