Rushmore, I'm in a similar spot as you: Android vs N900. The difference is that I don't own an Android device at the moment.

There are a lot of good Android phones coming out soon (Motorola Sholes, a couple of HTC phones), and there are definitely more apps for Android than for Maemo 5. My impression from viewing the Android apps available is that the Android experience is going to be a bit better for the near future. Maemo 6 is going to be awesome, but there's some pain from here to there.
