i was thinking about buying this phone when it first came out but im kind of glad that i held off, especially when my current phone is still on par with the new phones(its 1 1/2 years old).

i would be disappointed if n900 wouldnt be upgradeable to maemo 6 but then again there are a lot in this community that will somehow make it work.

usually a new os means upgraded hardware. sure it might work on the n900 but it may run a bit slower. i would be more concerned if maemo 6 apps would run just as good or be backward compatible on maemo 5 platform.
