I don't think it's correct to say that Android devices are making 'deep cuts' in Nokia's market share, but it can seem that way, due to the proliferation of US tech blogs that paint the mobile device market as iPhone vs Android.

Anyhow, I own a HTC Desire in addition to my N900. The original plan was to sell my N900, the plan being based on all the hype surrounding Android. How could all those bloggers be wrong?

For me, Android is not a genuine competitor to Maemo. It is aimed at a different set of users. I have chosen to stick with the N900, and maybe sell the Desire, because no matter how I try, I just cannot be truly satisfied with Android. I need the true mobile computing experience provided by Maemo and the N900.

Like most, I have been impressed by the commitment of the devs and supporters in the Maemo community. I'm looking forward to contributing my own applications in the (hopefully) near future. The adoption of Qt has brought this a step closer.

My N900 is here to stay.
