For me N900 is not appropriate because I use Xournal and Maemopad+ a lot. I think I am going to wait for N820.
On the other hand I would recommend N900 to my friends if I knew that free OS (i.e. Mer) could be installed on the device.

Already placed order. Now just a matter of refreshing forums - over and over and over until it ships

[QUOTE=GeneralAntilles;321275]I've used the iPhone quite a bit (every single release, even), and don't much care for it.
Either way, MicroB has double-tap, too, so there's not much point discussing it.[/QUOTE
You implied that with the iPhone you had to pinch to zoom, and I believed you. The correction, that you can double-tap to zoom, was important to keep me from being mislead.

If I can't get N900 cheaper than 699,-, I'll wait for "N910" to have SDXC card support and Maemo 6.
It's like buying now a notebook without Express Card to upgrade to USB 3.0. I can't replace every year a phone and a notebook to sell it for half the price, because I need more space and/or faster ports.
With USB 3.0 und SDXC at the door, it's imho a bad time to buy something without this items. Look back SD -> SDHC and USB 1.1 -> 2.0

Is it a standart? No, not even after almost 3 years. Only a small percentage of games use it. Or look at HDTV. Is 1080p a standart? No, not yet, just 720p is. And HDTV as a technology is 20 years old or more. Are touch-screen devices a standart? No, but they are close to getting there. USB 3.0? Drivers came out for Linux just this month and commercialy USB 3.0 will launch next year. I don't mean to sound negative, I'm all for new tech (i really like nanotechnology), but let's be honest and realistic. There is no point in buying a device that has it NOW (or WILL have it when it's available) day 1, when you can't use it anywhere, but at home. Let's not be naive to think a N9xx (phone) coming out next year will support USB 3.0 and SDXC, prior to computers. As much as i like Nokia, you are dreaming.
