Ok, using the term idiot here is unnecessarily direct on an, up to this point, completely civil debate. I've liked this thread to this point.

Also.. I understand you wanted a new tablet.. but somehow this entire statement completely misses the point I was making.

What does the Droid give me that the N900 couldn't? hehe.. you're serious, aren't you? For one--the Droid is ACTUALLY a phone--it's stable and MUCH MUCH more featureful as a phone. You only need to search the forums to find out how lousy the N900 seems to work as a phone compared to anything else.
I said that the N900 couldn't provide. The framework is already there just buggy.. adding things like separate ringtones per contact will be *easy* once the real problems are addressed. You're arguments seem more centric to you feeling abandoned by Nokia, and pissed they added phone to the new system. I was on your team back in the day, I didn't want a phone on it - but because I didn't want it limited by Telcos. I wanted root. I wanted to play. Nokia addressed by giving me a phone - that is not limited... I just now have to sell my wife to slavery for the $560 it'll cost for me to get it. But damnit... someday..

I prefer two devices--one is a phone.. which is NOT my computer (hence stable and not hacked and not liable to crash and I can feel comfortable with tinkering on)--one is a computer.. which is where I'm much more free to treat it as a computer.
And this is where we disagree. I feel geeky enough.. I don't need a phone on this hip, netbook on this arm, a tablet in this pocket.. etc.

One device, all my needs, all the way. Nothing hits it yet. Well.. the N900 has promise, but .. just out of reach for now. Android is closest so far to anything I've handled.
