Seems like the N900 should be a good game device, but I was wanting one device that covers these points as good as possible:

1. Video codec support (G1 is only MP4 and no acceleration)
2. Very good audio
3. Plenty of space
4. Good second camera
5. Flash browser

N900 looks to have all these covered, but looks like I will lose basic communication functions I use everyday.

The N900 is sexy and almost pulled me in. It still might, but it certainly seems I am going from one extreme (weak hardware, good functionality as phone) to the other (STRONG hardware, but weak functionality as a phone).

Being able to text in portrait and use voice search is very handy for me.
