Stylus yes I do agree that is something I miss when I use a capacitive touchscreen. The speakers on the Nokia n900 are superb but I won't miss them however something I would miss very much from the Nokia n900 is the fm transmitter. The screen on Nokia n900 is good quality I would like it to be a litter larger however I would Android phones win when it comes to screen. Gps on the Nokia n900 is very basic not a feature that I would use. I do like how Ovi Maps doesn't need data usage. Android wins because of voice guided directions. Adobe Flash works superbly on the Nokia n900 but it will come to Android in version 2.2 it I will wait to see how the actual performance is. As for openess both Android and Maemo are very open. I would say Maemo is more open because root access is much easier to get. However Android can be installed on almost any toushscreen device and Maemo really can only found Nokia devices. I would only see myself rooting an Android device if I wanted to install custom roms which really I wouldn't need. Even if you don't get Wimax Sprint 3g is very good and the coverage of Sprint 3g is excellent where I live.
