Right their you said it .... it is the best Android device with a keyboard . . . . The specs are great a big high res screen, a keyboard and Android. Android is the best part of the equation . . . Google Mobile OS's built-in proprietary Apps are the best . . . . The Google Maps and the Google Voice Recognition and unmatched by any mobile device including the "MAGICAL" iphone. (don't really see how the UI is really that magical compared to Mobile environments like Maemo on the N900 and desktop environments like Linux-Compiz )


Non the less, Google's API Powered Apps give them a very unfair advantage with Android / Google Branded Devices.


The part that sucks?


These Google Apps are proprietary and even Android devices not made with Google's Help and Approval will not include them. Even if NIT-DROID is successful in bringing Android to the Nokia N900 hardware.... the software will suck big time because without Google's proprietary Apps, Android can not even begin to compare to the Maemo OS.


Distributing Google Proprietary Apps would be illegal
