I bought one of these as a development phone and have flashed the Modaco FroYo ROM to it. It was only ever meant to be a bog standard Android device just sufficient for testing on but I have been playing around with it for a week and I must say I'm quite stunned.

I realise the N900 has a better CPU and GPU chipset and various other bits that this doesn't have, but frankly I'd actually consider switching to it having used it! The OS is smooth, the screen is responsive at virtually all times (compared to an N900 overclocked to 850MHz), it looks nice too. The range of meaningful applications you can get from the Android Market and the third party app store is immense and "fart-apps" aside the sheer weight and range of choice truly outweighs that available for the N900.

I am a developer, I do like to fiddle with the phone and make it do hacky things and so on and so forth, but frankly and to my great surprise this phone has blown my N900 clean out of the water for me.

For £90 over the ridiculous £600 that I paid for the N900 frankly there is no contest. It may not been so hackable but it sure works a whole lot better than any Nokia that I've ever had in the 15 years that I've been a Nokia user.
