Yup, I'm bored, so yesterday I started looking for alternatives. Number one on my brief list of requirements is a QWERTY-slider (with Finnish/Swedish keys, since we use ÅÖÄ in every other word).

I made this brief list:

* QWERTY slideout keyboard
* Hires touch screen (more than 320x480) - preferably 800 in some direction
* Good OS (Maemo, Meego, WinMo7, Android 2.1 or more, Iphone OS)

And you know what. There is no alternative to the N900 for me right now =(, so I guess my boredom will prevail, as well as the money in my pocket.

The Droid or Milestone comes close, but no keys for Finnish/Swedish chars and a slightly weird design makes it fall just below the acceptable line.

The N900 may be boring and lagging behind a bit in terms of software releases and application development, but it's still the only viable alternative for me. I completely suck at writing long texts on an onscreen keyboard during a shaky bus ride, so I don't event want to consider it.
