I guess it's all a matter of perspective and experience. So far, my experience with Droid phones has been positive... just not positive enough to have persuaded me against buying a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S variant for AT&T in the US) instead.

I don't think people are arguing that the Atrix is the end all/say all solution for everybody. It just does a better job than quite a few other solutions before it - N900 possibly included.
Motorolas (normally) make solid phones, their build quality is very good. I wasn't saying their build quality is bad.

I'm just waiting for the Nokia N9, it will bring what it brings, its the s/w thats more important than the H/W in some cases.

Only a few more weeks to go till MWC, and we will probably find out then the specs of the N9.

I've got an android phone and a Nokia N900, I really do like the android OS, it's very nice and slick, but it's not really a power users OS, it just does not have the same apps that the N900 does, like openoffice 3, winzip, winrar, canola, debian, usb host mode, nmap, backtrack, wireshark, rdp, vnc, ssh, bittorrent and smb.

Android DOES have SOME of these but not all (before you go screaming!).

Its not ONE feature of the N900 thats makes it better - its the WHOLE package! The GPS is decent (as is Sygic), its has TV-Out, build quality is decent, its a resistive screeen, has IR, has a good quality camera, memory card slot, decent speakers, good quality screen.

Its all these things together that means anything else is just NOT up to scratch, it just doesn't provide me with the same experience.
