I was one of the very first owners of the 770, I then bought a N800. I never upgraded to the N810 because I did not feel that it offered anything above the N800. I especially would have missed the dual SD card slot.

But in not getting the N810 I started to detach from this community. What the N900 has done is to bring me back. And right now I am enjoying the whole N900 Journey. Knowing there is going to be an N910 or whatever, actually excites me even more, cause I get to go on another journey next year when I know my N900 will not be able to avert my eye

On the matter of affordability there is a side effect of the phone integration. ( I cant afford it either) but unlike the N8xx I get to spread to cost thanks to Vodafone

You are a long time forum member, and I would not be overstating the matter when I say that most people find your balanced opinions of value. I think that your experience with Flash will be of great value to this community (bring on Flash 10). But its difficult to play from the bench.

Now to the N900. Yes it has its issues, I am especially disappointed on the features missing from Mail for Exchange. As a Nokia E71 user I had assumed that Mail for Exchange was Mail for Exchange. Apparently not. But you know what, Vitaly Repin the lead MfE Engineer then turns up on the forum and starts getting involved with this community. That changed my mind, and reminded me why I like this place.

My N900 arrived 5 days after I ordered it. I have had no problems with it, and the having used it non stop for the last week, I am again reminded why I believed in the N770 N800, the browser is once again the best you can get on a mobile device. And the VOIP and IM are also well executed.

As long as you don't use it like an iPhone ie with the tips of your fingers and thumbs, but with your index finger turned sideways so the edge of your finger nail just makes contact, and flick instead of push,its speed is amazing. Double tap on a block of text and it zooms in just right to fit that block of text to the width of the screen. Double tap on the same block of text and it zooms back out. Again the resolution of the screen always amazes. Do I find it too small. Nope, the fluid zooming makes up for the screen size.

On the N900 there are lots of other features that are new, there are lots of features that are missing, but the browser makes up for it for me cause thats where I spend 80% of my time.

So what about the dual SD card slot, do I miss that. Well the 32GB internal and microSD card slot makes up for this, and is a feature still not available on any competing device with a keyboard.

So get that bloody N900, come along for the ride, cause we sure would enjoy your company.
