But while I'm here, I'm only going to talk about the N900... I think that's easy to understand.

It's mostly about only Maemo 5 phone around these parts. And to continue with what you are somehow overlooking... despite having the best specs (when it was announced) it sure as hell didn't gain as much share as even the lowly iPhone.

Thus, what ysss had stated earlier still stands...

But it is not important anyway.
Actually, it somewhat is. If not specs, if not hardware, if not even the OS... then what? I'm willing to bet "applications"...

What's important (hardly but somewhat) is that it's obvious that Windows Mobile 7 will be a flop, competing head on with google, bada and Symbian^3/4.
Time will tell. When Maemo 5 came out, people said it would flop.

It will probably sell some in the US market, but that is just about all. I had the impression that it was more business oriented, but it is not, it is meant for the general public and is dead boring and locked down.
Microsoft seems to be doing the "We can do Apple things too" type of stuff... let's see how that fares for them. While we're waiting... let's see how MeeGo does too.

Wide open doesn't seem to sell all that well either. OpenMoko, Maemo... hmm.
