Free turn by turn NAV (BIG PLUS)

There are even more little things that seems to make Droid better for example:
being thinner
capacitive touch
portrait and landscape mode all the time
Verizon (3G everywhere) - i have Verizon
  • While the processor in the N900 is the same as the Droid, the way Maemo is designed, you will multi-task better, faster, with more applications and without running out of memory.
  • Dunno about the cam recorder.
  • Do you know Firefox, that awesome browser? Its core powers the Maemo browser in the N900, AND you will also have Fennec (Firefox mobile edition) and hopefully Tear (which uses the same engine as Safari, Webkit).
  • Dunno about nav.
  • The touch screen of the N900 is so sensible people usually don't distinguish it from capacitive, and the user interface is designed so you don't need multi-touch to work.
  • More portrait is coming soon.
  • Dunno about Verizon.

In short, Maemo is way more akin to a desktop - and you will be using it longer than the Droid, in my opinion.
