Ok, the whole keyboard sucking is an opinion. There are those who don't like the N900's keyboard (ysss for example I think prefers the Blackberries).
But for general typing (IM, SMS, browsing, forum posting, etc), I've found BB's keyboard layout, parameters (size, depth, etc) and their software features to be top notch. As far as I'm concerned, they've earned their title as the king of enterprise push email device fair and square. They've been consistently good in this department ever since their early devices and it shows that they've paid a lot of attention to this aspect of the device.

N900 + maemo = portable computer that has phone functionality.
Android phones = phones that desperately wants to be a computer.
I have android phone with android 2.1... and n900... android is so pale and functionless. Shitload of useless apps on the market does not make it more attractive. And I really dont understand the hype behind capative screens... they are not as precise as tactile ones...

Well, 2.1 Just came out on the Milestone and was available for the droid for months so already this is way better than what Nokia is doing with pr 1.2.
@f2thak
Are you aware that ZodTTD is going to develop a fully working PSX emulator for Android and that it already has fully working emulators of the SNES, GBA, Genesis and more.
And what gives you the nerve to come on a forum where there are a lot of developers for this phone, and start whining about ZodTTD? How about you do a search and find out that every emulator you mentioned is ALREADY AVAILABLE for the N900.
But of course you wouldn't know any of this... Since you're a TROLL after all...

What gives me the nerve? You're on crack or something. Chill the eff out. This is supposed to be a friendly thread and people like you, with big lead pipes up their asses come here and fanboy everything up.
EDIT - The GBA emulator doesn't run at full speed like on the Milestone, btw.
I was merely stating that ZodTTD is, in fact, going to dev psx4all for Android. That is all. You also clearly don't know the definition of troll, just fyi.
Just cool down peeps. It's all cool in here.
ANYWAY,
Some pretty compelling arguments over here. I have another factor, btw - Flash 10.1 - which is coming next month to the Droid/Milestone and it's going to probably be really awesome.
With that said, lots of compelling arguments about Android over here. Although I do not care at all about the camera and it's features. I rarely use it anyway.
I've heard that Android can't really run at it's full potential speed. That includes apps regardless of the phone's processing power. Is this true? What is the cause?

That's one of the strengths of Apple's platform (uniformity) although they have their problems too, and they'll only get worse as Apple introduces more variation (e.g. iPhone 4G). That's also why people speculate that most of the games will stay on the iPhone platform because there's more uniformity in hardware regardless of how the marketshare changes in the future.

A large problem (I and a few others had) with the Android platform was lack of access to the direct hardware (without hacking around). Although I think last I heard Google had implemented some API to allow you direct access to the hardware without going through the java davlink interpreter (but I think that means the app is no longer cross-platform).
