Never seriously considered anything else, especially after the Moto Sholes/Droid turned out to be so completely disappointing. I ordered mine Sept 4th and I'll wait as long as it takes. To me, those who pick one phone over another because of small differences in the camera, CPU, .6" of screensize or whatever are missing the point of The N900. Though the hardware is very good with a hard to beat feature set, the N900 is really all about the Maemo OS. No other mobile OS can come close. Maemo is the next step, the future of real pocket computing.
