Anjin: well, for bringing up your question here (Maemo forum), you'll probably get 80-90% positive response to get the N900. Because the members here are actual users of the device, and have experienced with it. Ask anywhere else you'll get feedback based on word of mouth marketing, or from those who don't know the difference between any other phones except iPhones.

What I want to say is, to get a good recommendation, just ask what is it you expect from the device, and comparing with what. The experts here will be able to explain to you your concerns. Then finally you make the decision to buy the N900 or not.
