I''m orthogonally opposite to both of you. I want to see the next generation of devices before I take the plunge. I'd like Maemo's flexibility running on a big screen phone with a gigahertz or more CPU under the hood. The N910 maybe?
Yeah, I see the n900's competition more as the MIDs and UMPCs with cell phone capability than smartphones that try to have PC functionality.

I would be waiting for the fight (that was my plan) but I've decided that with how busy my life is (I underestimated how busy grad school + work + a 4 hr commute both ways takes time out of your day) I need to get a device like the n900 soon just to keep on top of things.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
