Hi,

I would like to discuss Maemo 5 / N900 on the one side vs an Android-phone with similar hardware (e.g. Droid) with a chrooted Debian-installation on the other side (e.g. http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comm...otorola_droid/)

The interesting thing for me is that you can have a fully functional Debian-system TOGETHER with an Android-System, so in a way you can have the best of all world (for phone-functionality Android is clearly better than the current Maemo).

Would that not be a better solution than Maemo (with unclear future)?

Evidently a few cool things you can do on Maemo would not be possible (e.g. listening on the D-Bus for incoming calls or SMS etc) but I think I could live with that. In the Debian subsystem I could still run an sshd, do apt-get, and run scripts that access the network (I don't care a bit for facebook-widgets).

Can someone please provide some more insight as to the various pros and cons?

Why would the N900 neverthless be better?

Many thanks!
