Of course the hardware keyboard is very good, and I certainly can't type as fast or as accurate yet on the Desire, but the auto correction makes it a breeze to type.

I have actually rarely used it in landscape mode... which I did enjoy on the N900, and I was actually one who thought there was no need for portrait mode! One thing I find quite odd from my useage!

As for the N900 browser, yes it is fantastic, but I've had no problems on the Desire, and I find it to load faster. The argument for "We don't need apps such as facebook, twitter, etc. because the web browser can do it" is void for me. Even on my Mac, I never use the Twitter site, I use an app for it. I'd use an app for Facebook if there was a decent one too. Again, thats for me, I'm sure a lot of people prefer the browser too apps. All about personal preference.

One thing I did really like about the N900 is the way Conversations integrated with services such as Facebook chat and MSN. I use eBuddy on Android, which serves it's purpose.

Oh, and multi-tasking. I prefer the way the N900 does it by a mile. I've yet to look into multi-tasking much on Android.

At the end of the day, it's all about what the user needs or likes. I find I'm liking Android better as it's more productive for me. I do hope Meego works, and works well when it starts shipping on phones, as I enjoyed Maemo - I found it quite intuitive and easy to use, and currently I'm finding it was easier to use than Android in some areas.
Now that is a sensible post.

Good luck with your android phone.
