  • 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.
I agreed that i like the multi-task of N900 and the design of seeing everything on the desktop is pretty cool

I agreed that the firefox is pretty cool w/ extension (in fact, that is the browser i am using on my PC). And i do like the fact the the N900 browser display like real PC browser.

Agreed that the resistive touch on N900 is not that bad
And i think the camcorder of the N900 is better it seems. I seen the Roid video test and they don't seem to be great quality they they suggest.

I have no doubt the Nav of ROID is the killer app.
