Let's put it this way. I'm not buying the N900 largely because I'm so damn satisfied with what my "abandoned" N800 does!

Sure, I wish it had a faster processor, etc., and there are some new tricks that would be nice, but if Nokia "abandoned" Maemo 4, they abandoned it in a highly functional state. As rm42 said, it isn't as if the OS and the apps stop working!

So if the N900 does what you want (or will do what you want once a few more apps are written for it), I say: Buy it!

(You're right that you may not be able to keep up with the latest and the greatest once Maemo 6 comes out; but without new hardware, you wouldn't have the latest and the greatest anyway, if that's what's important to you.)
