(It closes apps when it shouldn't or keeps apps running, when they should shut down - draining the battery and running my roaming charges high.)

- Adobe Flash, although very close to what was shown for Maemo 5, still misses quite a few online video players. Not a big difference, but I prefer sg, which is closer to full web experience.
(Flash 10 was demoed first on the N900.)

- the 5 MP camera (no photo flash!) is a toy, compared to the Carl Zeiss lens. My older 3 MP (CZ) lens make better pictures than the Hero's, not to mention that I can somewhat use it in the dark too.

I don't want to convince you, as the rest is pretty much up to par b/w Android and Maemo - but I'm switching for the Nokia hardware and the multitasking from Android to Maemo.
Agreed. However, I really hope OVI maps comes to the n900 with free turn-by-turn. Even if you have to pay for traffic information and the like... Google really upped the bar with 2.0.
