We don't see a device much akin to Nokia N800, that is: 4"3 touchscreen, 2 SD, USB OTG, no HW keyboard, no 3G or camera, open source Linux-based OS, with more horsepower than Nokia N800 (ie. OMAP3, OpenGL ES, 256+ MB RAM). The only thing close to this thus far is Pandora although it is rather optimized for gaming with its 2 dpads.

Really depends on your one's needs, why one likes Nokia N800, but not Nokia N900.

Maybe you missed it, but there are various humans (ie. with profile not pos(t)ers with 2 posts) on this forum who chose something else than Nokia/Maemo based device while they had to wait for Nokia N900/Maemo 5. And OMAP3 devices are also more common.
