I currently carry a Palm Pre, Google G1, MyTouch 3g and at work I carry an HTC Touch Pro 2.
The Palm Pre will be used alongside the N900 when I receive it and I will probably hang on to the G1 for hacking and stuff. I like the MyTouch but I will probably be selling it. Battery life is awesome and I am pretty decent with the on screen keyboard but I always prefer a physical keyboard to onscreen.
Android and WebOS are both great. I am running the latest Mighty ROM 6.5 on the TP2 and it is...well Windows at the end of the day. I wouldn't call it REALLY terrible but it doesn't hold a candlestick to WebOS or Android.
I also had a couple of iPhones and sold them last year. The were good multimedia devices for me but terrible messaging devices at the time. Main problem has always been the touchscreen keyboard. I type without looking on all my physical keyboards at a good clip so going to a touchscreen slows me down.

im coming from a lot of devices, iphone (crap for me, hate the on screen keyboard, the orgy of icons con the screen and the bigest problem for me: not multitask), blackberry (its nice to use the bb messenger, free chat, but i dont like the browsing experience, and the lack of functions), i use symbian on a Sony Ericsson P1 (very bad experience, very slugish, slow as hell).

Could you say some more about why WinMo can't hold a candlestick to WebOS or Android, despite a custom ROM?

Judging from the current sample half of us are coming from Symbian. I wonder how happy Nokia would be if this were the actual distribution?

I'm coming from a Crackberry Curve and have tried the MyTouch 3G, rooted it and installed a custom firmware for 10 days before I returned it with it's original firmware again. The onscreen keyboard is no good to run a ssh session.
I'm very pleased so far with the N900. Yeah, it might have some shortfalls, but so did Linux about 15 years ago when I started with kernel 0.99
I'm definitely a sucker for the command line.

God I ended up really hating that phone and all the truly awful things HTC did to the stock Android OS.

it also exposes Maemo5's email immaturity. Look at Blackberry's numbers. That needs to be higher.
