As a former N900 owner who traded for the Nexus, Flash browsing and the slide out keyboard were the only things I missed from the n900. Now, with FroYo and Flash 10, I finally got my flash! There is no cursor mode like the n900 but other than that, its pretty damn smooth.

The n900 just wasn't for me and I consider myself a gadget freak as well. The Android OS just feels more complete to me as opposed to Maemo where it seemed I had to do too much under the hood to take full advantage of the phone. Not to mention that I'm very noobish when it comes to linux. Add the large Android Community and developers to all that and it was hard for me to stay away.
