I hope that's true but I don't feel it, so far. All I know is I've had my N800 for more than two years and I've not really seen it so far--and I'm really not interested in buying an N900. Ultimately, my experiences is tinged by the negative closed-source end of things ruining my open-source experience in a lot of ways that I'm not feeling on my netbook, laptop and servers. In the two years, I've gone from fan, to critic to cynic and don't feel much hope for climbing back out of it anytime soon.

That remains to be seen.
