Here's my take on Android vs Maemo. I had the first android phone, the G1. Still do by the way. Out the box, the Android was the much more polished OS. It was easily the best phone I ever had. I actually use both the g1 and n900. They make great companions with each other. Anything phone related I use my g1, for surfing and all that good stuff, I use the n900. Wish the n900 could connect to bluetooth tether because wifi tether from my g1 drains the battery so much.
