Well my n900 is packed up again, only this time looks like it has packed up for good with what it looks like a hardware failure, and i'm on 24 month contract so currently I'm using my good old n95.

webOS at the moment is a very strong contender for me, but even android or iphone are a much stronger contender then nokia is. In the past market strengths pushed software vendors out there to publish decent apps, this time, software vendors and Nokia itself are not interested in producing decent apps for the n900, time is money and n900 is certainly wasting many peoples time waiting for application like full version of opera browser, latest version of flash, coreplayer, sat navigation(instead nokia sells this to n900 users), and many other decent bits of software that are available for other platforms out there, the maemo alternatives are simply at this point not as good, in fact we have seen better results from end user projects like the webOS games porting project to maemo then any other software vendor out there has given us. The lack of a compass in the n900 is certain probably killed this device, when people out there are using QT to create top apps for symbian and other platforms but not for the n900. The things i liked about n900 were the physical keyboard, the screensize and the diskspace of the n900, if that was on another phone like a webOS, android or iphone then we would a perfect phone.
