Everyone claiming slimmer is better easily forget why the N900 was thick in the first place. Does the Droid have (loud) stereo speakers? Does the Droid have a FM transmitter (or FM radio at all)? There's much more functionality in the N900, which the Droid simply lacks (due Android restrictments and lack of support, you have to agree about that Android is still an immature OS).

Even if Android's limitations won't be considered, it'll still be an inferior OS, due its Java layer on top of the Linux kernel, which leads to inefficiency.


In my opinion, the biggest competitor to the N900 (quality wise, not PR wise) is Samsung's future LiMo-lineup, but it looks like the N900 will still be (although slightly) superior. Android is nothing than a combination of Google and PR; it's a shame that it's even considered as an alternative to Maemo. Because of this, LiMo has been left in the dust, which is quite undeserved.
