I don't think any device evers compares to the N900 because of the main issue here - the OS. Having Linux, dbus, gstreamer, hal , etc... It's not a matter of camera megapixels or screen colors. So I find this comparison completely bogus. It's not the same experience, the capabilities are not the same and such.

I wish there were a dozen competing devices with Maemo 5 (or Meego, for that matter) instead of only the N900. This way even PR1.2 might have been released earlier.
