The n900 is now a niche product geared towards people who want to tinker with their device.

For me that's perfect I'm keeping mine but I can understand if other people want a better-supported platform with more mainstream apps to play with.

At the moment the N8 has the most up-to-date version of Symbian and well-supported by third party application developers.
Thats exactly how I feel. The N900 is an awesome phone. I love it, but I do feel that its just "too much" for me lol. I have never had a phone that is basically capable of doing whatever you want! Who needs a lap top!

I feel like I will never use the N900 fully, and the lack of good apps, is also a downer imo. There are great apps out there, but I personally dont need to use them.

I like how the N8 looks like, and I was thinking about it for a long time now. I also like the E7, but I no longer want a physical keyboard.

I am on a 30 day rolling contract with T Mobile now, so its not like I NEED A NEW PHONE, but I do have the opportunity to get one! I can wait for the N9 as an example, but the current leaks out there, I am not too impressed tbh. I think the phone looks ugly, and big, and its not really any good tbh. Plus Meego is a long way off. I am pretty sure the first release of Meego wont be THAT good, and we will have to wait for Meego v2 or v3 before it becomes a proper high end operating system.

Eitherway, I am not abandoning my trusty N900, nor Meego. Maybe just taking a short break
