Difficult one for me. I have been a Nokia fanboy a decade and have never owned anything else as my primary phone. I waited like 6 months for the N97 and got it as soon as it came out then returned it after 3 days as it was so terrible and went back to using my N95 before assessing my next move.
Then I stumbled on the N900 on youtube and decided to give Nokia another chance. Then waited for about 6 months for it to come out. I really really hate and love the N900. I hate it because mine has been plagued with so many bugs, it stutters like crazy in scrolling and media play back, the telephone functions are totally rubbish compared to my previous Nokias and on top of that my usb port is faulty and Nokia are refusing to fix it under warranty because they say they do not do international warranties (I bought it in US but live in UK).
I love it because I love how you can customize everything about it, it has 32gb internal memory a keyboard and Conboy notes.
It is clear that I am not just going to do what I have always done in the past which is buy the top of the range Nokia. Competition is just to fierce for that now. What has prevented me jumping to Android so far is the lack of keyboard devices and lack of internal memory. I have just seen the Samsung Epic which looks truly epic - has a 5 row keyboard and is very fast and smooth unlike my N900. The internal memory issue has still not been addressed though.
I will wait to see what the meego device has to offer as I presume meego will be as customisable as maemo 5 and it will have a keyboard and 32gb internal storage. I will then compare it with the android phones available. If Nokia's offering does not surpass them by far then it is goodbye Nokia for me unless there is still no android with huge internal storage and keyboard.
If I could specify my next device (like you can specify car options) it would definitely most certainly not be Nokia though. It would be a device made by HTC with keyboard (with dedicated number keys so 4 or 5 rows), 32gb internal memory and micro sd card slot and running android (not meego - think I will get meego tablet instead as interface looks far superior to the handset interface) and a screen of 4 to 5 inches.
