the n900 is a different device really. on the one hand, it's so much more powerful and fun to use. on the other hand, the smaller screen does make a difference when watching videos or surfing. i still prefer my n8x0 for this. another thing is the user interface. in an attempt to copy apple, they tried to make it "simple", which of course means: less control, less options. typing on the onscreen keyboard is a PITA compared to the n8x0, because they changed its behavior, too.

overall, while the n900 is a cool device and i like it, depending on personal preferences people may feel they're better off with their old n8x0/770 tablets and will therefore not buy the n900.
