Also based on the WP7 system requirements the N900 doesn't have a fast enough CPU (600MHz vs 1GHz), enough memory (256MB vs 512MB), lacks hw buttons (qwerty does not count in this case), and as far as I know WP7 currently runs only on one specific hardware, thus the strict requirements.
  1. One does not need 1GHZ to run an operating system. - Maemo is proof of that, NITDroid is more proof of that.
  2. The N900 is capable of running 1GHz as so many of us who have overclocked it know.
  3. There are 5 hardware buttons on the Nokia N900, not to mention the physical keyboard.
  4. Don't rule out the device that can run almost anything on it.

The question is - do people want WP7 on their Nokia N900? I certainly don't want a buggy OS.
