I'm sure I seen another web site with a feature searching comparison facility... but here is another site that may help:

One of the problems i'm finding is that a series of other features also don't seem to be near as good as the n900, for example space, i think iphone is probably the closest one when it comes to space but lacks a lot of other stuff. I have truly considered a palm device with webOS but the hardware was quite limited, so I will not go down that road unless the price drops so much that I will not be able to say no.

I suspect the situation with n9 might be under review as other newer phones out there like the lg x2 optimus and motorola atrix would make the n9 look outdate. The atrix certain looks good as it has is own docking station and is literally nearly a desktop replacement.
