Hello people its my first post and i'm here hoping you guys can give me some info on the N900 because i really like the phone, but i have been considering a nexus one ever since i heard about it.

I have a few questions about the N900 as a whole

first i wanted to know what the GPS on the N900 is really like, i mean how is the lock on and the accuracy in general, i am currently using an N97 and the GPS capability is absolutely crap, i mean i dont need a hardcore navigation device, just something to mess around with every now and again when i go geochaching and so on

second i heard there was an update to make the N900 more user friendly, as in make the portrait mode more useful, i wanted to know to what extent did the update succeed, for example would i be able to type in a simple sms or direction into the phone using it in portrait mode via an on screen keyboard?

Third i wanted some info about the general battery life, like if i had the GPS on and a 3G connection how long would the battery run for?

And last, and sorry for the extent of the post, hardware aside and from the bottom of your hearts which is really better the nexus one or the N900?

thank you for the info
