For the OP, as you said in your post, it all boils down to what kind of person you are. If you are those like to take things apart and put it back, "aaha, that is how to do it", you should consider N900, the ONLY top multi task phone today. Or, if you are the person that, a chair is a chair, I will sit in a chair, or a box, or anything, so to move on and do my thing, a N900 will drive you nuts.

And yes, today's android is NOT multi tasking. "Well, I dont need multitasking, I am NOT a power user..." that is what you think. Halfway getting into a video or browser of something too dark, and made you want to adjust the light level, that is called multitasking. And for today's android, you would have to STOP from what you are doing, your media player or your browser, and get into settings in order to adjust the light level, then get back into whatever you are doing before. Or if you need to adjust wifi/BT or what nots, it is also called multitasking... you got the picture.
Android's app store attracts me, but N900's multitasking is KING, so far.

thanks for ur replay Bun... Ive seen ur posts in various other threads and i found them very informative... I know about Maemo a lot...been reading this community threads for whole last week...

So its just between apps and multitasking??? You sure? Coz ive seen ppl saying n900 cant handle videos and comments abt n900 being picky with codecs and stuff.. I have a lotta movies that i like to carry around too.. mostly dvdrips which i assume n900 wud handle well.. but there are few mkvs with brilliant quality somewhere near 720p and some are 720p... wud it play those files too???
