Also had the N97 for about 6 month before getting the N900. Do miss the portrait mode, and the better apps/games for Symbian. But using the N900 compared to N97 is just so much faster, and got better keyboard and browser, plus of curse better multitasking, even though Maemo 5 is not perfect, it is still preferred over Symbian 5th edit. IMO.

Looking forward for Symbian^3, though, hoping for a device like N97, but with up to date hardware.
