@Revdkathy: i agree ... from the n810 perspective, n900 is a great upgrade ... n900 can be seen as another branch ...
i played with it before buying, n97 was the safe bet. i picked n900 because i liked the entuziasm behind maemo's community. now ... i did not played with the phone app, contacts, sip .... these, for me, were solved by nokia long ago ... it was a mistake! .... i knew i'd have to wait for a decent navigation app

i hope the the firmware upgrade will fix this ... but so many new and exciting devices will be announced in the meanmetime ... vive la competition!

on the other hand: a 500 to 600 euro device, to be used for 1 year .... say 2 .... is bought because one can afford to throw the money away, otherways a 200-300 euro netbook is the smart solution for mobile computing ... or a tablet ... a pixel qi tablet for eg

we will have to wait 6 mths for a decent firmware .... 6 more mths and the n900 will crack, die ... become obsolete ... it's not fair!
