I tried using a lumia 800 (developer gift from nokia) for about 2 months and the lack of decent task management and multitasking are the main reasons why I stopped using it. You might be able to live with it's limitations if your use cases for the phone are exactly what microsoft thinks they are and you expect nothing more from it.

unlimited data isn't really needed because in the US we get free wifi just about everywhere

Keep comparing Maemo to WIndows Phone 7. It does not make you people look silly at all.

To lazy read this thread but one thing about Android vs WP is:
I now several people who had now buyed the damn Lumia 800 and for them 800 is way better than many android devices they have tested cause it runs smother, does not need triple core CPU etc... And for us having N9/N900 we already knows that N9/N900 is not so resource hungry as Android is.
But the thing is none of them knows about N9/N900. So I say it again if Nokia had marketed N9 harder in european it could had taken back alot of the android users.
So what will I say with this is: Its all about marketing and those people stupid enought beleive Android manufactors like samsung will eat Nokia are plain stupid.
Nokia will come back. Personally I still dislike the fact the killed Maemo6 Harmattan and go WP only but that is how it is. Personally I will not buy any WP. I still hope for a Qt based geekphone in the future. Maybe when Nokia is back in bussines...

just like most consumers use m$ LostDOS because it is what comes installed on their PC when they buy it, most consumers get either an iPotato or an ANDroid.
that's what everybody has, right?
m$?
do they do (mobile) phones?
yeah, sure, what does m$ not do?!?
thanks to Flop, m$ now registers as a tiny blip on the mobile landscape
that's all it'll ever be...
Anyway back to topic, so how much of ablip on the mobile landscaoe did maemo/meego combined register again?

Dude, changin from an N to an L..is totally your choice...but believe me when I say there's none to compare wit d N900..i'm yet to see a full that is full of adventure..You can tweak almost anythin to your choice unlike the iphone lookPoint taken-alikes in d market...3 months Tops, you'll dust your n900 and go back for it...have fun
I can say by my own experience, I loved tweaking and the customizations options, but now with lesser time I love to have mydevices just work.
Theres really two sides to every coin. Believe me.

My N9 does lag and stutter occasionally, but at least I can make use of it. It's a work horse, not a shiny catwalk model that can do nothing except for looking good.
No multitasking. C'mon, you cannot seriously call WP a smartphone OS...
Even Android can emulate multitasking better than WP does.
