Let me start by saying I'm really pleased with my N900 so far,and I have none whatsoever intention on changing it, because I just enjoy using it (and I don't have the budget). I'm seriously hoping to maintain my N900 for at least another good 3 years.

Still, having said that, let me say this. I believe the N900 will obsolete itself soon, and the faster we come to terms with the harsh reality, the better it is for us to move on with change. It's nothing to be afraid of, or to feel anger, hurt, or even disappointment. It's like Tiboric said, 'it is after all just a phone!'.

I've always wondered which came first (like the chicken or egg situation); processors or games (in this case applications). In PC world we know games are a huge billion dollar industry and so are processors. But the question is, who's changing who? There'll come a time our ARM will not be able to support new apps introduced by iPhone 5,6,7 or Symbian ^4,5,6 or Android something - no matter how much we OC it.

Also, think about this, the advance-ness of the N900 or any other swiss-army smartphones out there will eventually be the main cause of it's own death. When we have so many functions, the probability of one (or two) features malfunction is higher, and the repair could probably cost more than the iPhone 5,6,7.

While the 32Gb+16Gb+brick solid body could outlast some of our active participation here, there are some components that we can't change. And that's when the N900 will lose its pace. But for now, let's get 3G video call and more great apps!!!
