Tired of using a N900 that:
Is so poor at multitasking that I can't answer the phone when it rings
Relies on 3rd-party apps for key features like MMS, iSync, bluetooth, and distinctive ring tones
Often fails to charge when the OEM charger cord is plugged in
Won't charge off many USB power adapters without a hacked cable
Discharges in under 6 hours during the day
Doesn't have decent non-weenie apps save for Angry Birds
Maps still suck and can't dial numbers
Browser crashes and can't dial numbers
Samsung Galaxy S 4G coming tomorrow. Advantages? Too many to list. Yes, it has ssh and rsync. Major disadvantages?
Can't record the audio output, just the microphone
Annoyingly tied to Google for sync (no iSync)
No hardware keyboard
I gave it a year and then some. PM if you want to buy a N900 that overclocks to 1000 MHz. If I want an "Internet tablet" I'll buy a second-generation iPad on Wednesday.

Alas, why I'll likely never recommend the N900 to my friends
Non-nerd apps; USB charging - generic and reliable; Distinctive ring tones; GPS failure to lock; Competitive "maps" application; Supported MMS, iSync, Bluetooth
(The feeble FM transmitter bugs me too)
