No, no, no,... Listen, I'm an avid Unix lover, I live and breathe the stuff, it's my bread and butter. I'll ignore the fanboy and childish comments I've seen in this thread because I know there's better people in here then those who belched up a reply suggesting I stick the HD2 somewher unpleasant. Speed. Rendering speed of webpages was my number one requirement, the faster the better. There's a review out there that pitches the N900 against the HD2 in terms of rendering webpages. The HD2 wins in the overall. Forgive me not wanting to look that review up, I lack the time, however, seeing as y'all very into the n900 I bet you've seen it and chose to ignore it Formfactor. I'm sorry, but this is 2009, I want my device flat and sleek. The n900 is not IMHO. It's a pack of sigarettes-factor, the HD2 is.. just flat. Screen. 4+inches is better than 3+inches. I don't want to hear anything else. It is really huuuuuuge. I'm sorry this is sounding redundant. Now,... Did I want linux on my device. Oh god, yes. I'll even settle for android. I love linux, it's open, it's full of promise, it does all my bidding, I adore it! However.. I'll have to carry this tablet around all day, I need it to be FAST in rendering pages and I want it to have a large and easy viewing screen. For those considerations, between the hd2 and the n900 the hd2 wins. That's for me personally. Will I keep an eye on maemo? Well offcourse, if that 920 is ever coming out I'll be back here, hopeing it'll be fast and comes with a large screen. In all honesty, if the n900 had've shipped end of september (as I was promised by Nokia) I would've gotten it and I prob. would've defended it to death. Things turned out differently. THe HD2 came out and it beat the n900 in areas I was interested in,.. Also, i'm not paid by any company. But if any company wants to, heck, send yar checks As an end note, I did not want to flash my cool device in your faces and go nah-nah-nah, I just wanted to tell you guys why I went for the hd2. rgds
