(I'll assume you mean 9.10, since I don't recall them releasing a version in January 2009)

Nope, N900 still wins.

I consider three categories of mobile devices that I consider:

Pocketable -- at most 5" screen size, but, honestly, probably no bigger than 4.3"; and it must be a phone (I don't do non-phone pocketables anymore; it was too annoying for me to carry both a phone and an N810). Not a phone: doesn't win. No physical qwerty keyboard: doesn't win.

Mid-range -- 6"-12" screen size. And, to win this category, for me, it has to be 9" or 10" screen, and some form of tablet (convertible tablet netbook is good, slate tablet is good, folding tablet (MS Courier, Entourage eGEe, OLPC 2) is good; but I've had a conventional netbook, and I'm no longer interested in that segment).

Laptop -- 12" screen size, or larger. (there's a grey area right at 12" ... there are some 12" devices that are definitely netbooks, and there are some 12" devices that are definitely laptops). I don't buy laptops ... so the only way to "win" is: don't be in this category.


The UMID M2 is at the upper end of my "Pocketable" category. It has a keyboard, so that's good. But even if it had vendor supported Ubuntu (or even Maemo) on it ... it's not a phone.

The N900 not only has the physical keyboard, it's a phone. The N900 wins.
