Maybe that's the difference Capt'n.... I loved the N810 and got many months of joy out of making it do things no other handheld device (at the time) could do. In that time it kind of showed me what Maemo and these arm devices are capable of.

If you were disappointed with the N810.. it's quite likely you won't be as impressed with the N900 as some of the rest of us. Mostly, it's just an upgrade with limited phone capabilities.
