What I am saying is that a 600mhz Arm processor can be just as fast as a 1000mhz snapdragon processor depending on what it is doing. Honestly though what happens after Maemo 6? I think that if you are looking to buy a phone that will still be top line after 3 or 4 years down the road, you will be engaging in an exercise in futility. There is always something better on the horizon in this industry.

There is NO phone that exists right now that will run a desktop linux distro like ubuntu at what most would consider a reasonable speed.
