I guess the last straw for me was putting a hacked version of WM6.5 on my phone and realising that it still didn't cut it - the marketplace was expensive and didn't have the apps and despite the facelift - WM6.5 just doesn't have that 'must have' feeling.
I think the iphone rasied the bar, but I want an 'always on' experience and to fully use the gps receiver for all the location aware apps that are out there. I want my phone to be useful to my life, not just for calls and txt's and email.

Its going to be an interesting journey and Ill let you know how I get on (now that Ive come over to the dark side )
Hello edgemon and welcome!

I'm really looking forward to your comparison of the N900/Maemo 5 and WM6.5. I have been using the N900 now for a week and I have to say despite a few kinks in the software (still prerelease) it has been the best mobile Internet experience for me so far. Even better than what I've been getting used to from the iPod Touch/iPhone. And yes, please do let us know what apps you are missing compared to WM.

Regards,
Kai
