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.
How is the comparison bogus, the user is comparing two mobile communication devices from a user perspective not just the OS or the flexibility of the OS.

If Nokia felt the camera or the keyboard were unnecessary they wouldn't have included them.

I find both devices have strengths and weakness, ultimately it's what you feel are your key requirements, if it's the OS potential/camera/keyboard/resistive screen and tweakability then it's the N900, if however you want something that works seamlessly out of the box that requires less tweaking with a far bigger app store then it's the Desire or something similar, just not an iphone
