N9(?) prototype looks promising. I'd definitely add it on to my list of 'maybe's' for my next device PROVIDING IT HAS:
  1. Full SatNav with parity to other Nokia handsets (i.e. NOT N900)
  2. Decent and FAST email client (i.e. NOT N900)
  3. Decent battery life (N900 duration would suffice)
  4. User-swappable batteries (like N900)
  5. Rugged USB port (NOT like N900)
  6. Desktop contact widgets (like N900)

These are the features I'll insist on next time and I'm afraid I won't be amongst the first to get N9 or whatever the new Meego device turns out to be. I rather sold myself short on the SatNav and Email client on N900 by telling myself that Nokia would implement them on N900 soon...

"Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me"

Back in the here & now I'm still enjoying my N900. It's not been what I expected (or hoped for) in some areas, but it has been the most engaging device I've ever owned.

My N900 will leave a big pair of boots to fill. Very often it's the imperfections and shortfalls that make for the experience - ask anyone whose owned an Italian motorbike or a British sportscar...
