Not even NITDroid, it's not worth it (with all due respect to the coders : nice to bring it to the N900 but that's about it. It's nice to have but not to use it, since it's Android).

Only good thing what I got out of Android was the fact, that I realized how disgusting OS it is. I've then completely changed my mind about Maemo 5 and will not give up on it until I replace it with MeeGo. Yes, I'm being a fanboy in here but for a reason.

Once you go to Maemo 5 you shouldn't go back. I've said this before but I'll say it again : Android can **** off for all I care. I may sound bias on Maemo 5's side but it's just true, I can't stand Android. Android can **** off with it's "open" OS, bloatware, locked UI's, no real-multitasking, rooting to fix problems (and voiding warranty) and fragmented marketplace.

I have no respect against Android. Period.
Same feeling, Android UX is clumsy at times. Maemo has its quirks but having used Android I came to appreciate the effort put into Maemo 5 UX. It just flows, unlike in Android you need to keep using touchscreen and hardware buttons.

If I need apps and easy-to-use phone, I would get a iPhone instead.
