I usually just ignore threads about the Desire and similar devices, but this one lured me in. And the title is a trick - 'what was/is/will be your next device' is not appropriate for another N900 bashing.

I'm glad you people like the Desire. It is a great, great device. I really mean it. Now go to Android forums and say how much you disliked the N900 and how HTC came to your rescue. Please. Stop. Boring. Everyone. Here.

And don't cover your N900 bashing threads with thread titles like these. I mean, what's next. A topic entitled "What apps do you use on your N900" which continues into "....None! Because it sucks! I got me a Desire! It rocks!"

Lame. Really lame.

Now, to answer the question in the title (pretending it was an honest question instead of an excuse to bash the N900):

My next device will be, if all goes well, the harmattan device, the N9, or whatever it will be called.

I am not a programmer, I do not use the terminal, and I still think Maemo/MeeGo will be my OS of choice. True multitasking, easy task switching, Qt possibilities, Nokia learning its lessons with the N900, Carl Zeiss, large storage - all the reasons I will go for the N9. It will have a great new UX with a capacitive screen.

And really, what's with all these hate threads? I mean, we read it all before. Numerous times. Now, I'm not into conspiracies, but, this seems less spontaneous each day. Symbian lobby trying to sabotage the Maemo/MeeGo camp?
