well, actually it could be either faster or slower. because there is no single product that defines if you are hip (well, vertus are probably pretty good indications that you really have money..). so no-one hypes a single device thus making your life easier because you can select the one that suits you the best and stick with it as long as you want.

It wont be long and year has passed since N900 came, haven't found better device yet so where is the faster -part?
