good list. I like it, Thing is, I feel anything other than no.1 and no.2 on the list would be a downgrade in terms of hardware from n900. And those 2 phones might not even come to Europe If you are gonna get something new you want some up to date specs.(dual core, big ram and a graphics gpu along with the usual bells and whistles. An 8mp camera would be nice too. Anything less and you risk not being able to run the latest software in a year. Happened to my wife who got the HTC magic. nothing new worked after about 7 months, so you gotta get something likely to last)
I hope those 2 do come to Europe cos I would probably get one.

Sad story, I know how it feels.

Right, and there are additional IMs for empathy.... And Pidgin... Would that let you contact 'em?
Try pidgin

Thanks for the list Kangal.

Where in the list would you place the Xperia Mini Pro SK17i? It's unanimously regarded as better than the X10, but I wonder how you would rate it compared to the others?

I would say that this is the best Android phone to combo with an N900:

It is really hot, sexy, an I bet it will encompass that Exynos chipset, it turns me over to be honest.

@gordonshowers pidgin doesn't support What'sapp / Viper

@kangal thanks for the list ... if only mods return my thanks! button :|
too bad that Droid 2 is locked.

@ammyt if this thing is real i think i am gonna wait then.

@ammyt

I've been waiting for that model to come. It is the SGSII with a keyboard (basically the next EPIC 4G). But I'm afraid it wont be manufactured, AT&T will be selling a slab form of the SGSII not a qwerty-slider.

Damn EPIC 4G doesn't have a gsm antenna!

Guys I've updated the list check back, tell me if I've missed any more handsets

hey,
Check out the HP Touchpad and view its reviews, maybe you will like it and find it the device you were looking for.

Best wishes,
Amr

what do you guys think of the nexus s or "with google" phones?

I would go with samsung galaxy tab 7.0+, very slick features and love the over-all concept of it.

I'm not into QWERTY and for most non-QWERTY users I've created a free apps that would break QWERTY into pieces... Try this and let me know what you think.
