Symbian lag? I got an E71, and it is way more quick than my N800... And if the UI bores you, a whole new one is coming with S^4 this year!
I'm currently using the N95 8Gb for a while and I recognize the same lag in navigating around the menus, although other multimedia orientated things the device does with huge speed. My point is, that newer more powerful devices essentially running the same OS don't work as fluently as Maemo or one doesn't work faster than the other, so it's not even about the power of the device! Its something inherent to Symbian SXXth ed. I was used to it too, but not anymore ...

I would go as far as saying that your particular problems come from Symbian^1 struggling in bigger displays, because it wasn't designed to work with those, something that Symbian^3 addresses with hardware acceleration and memory optimization.
Seriously, do some research.

Compare it to an N8x0 running Diablo...

Cortex A8's neon unit executes in parallell with the arm core too, almost like a second processor... And the DSP is of course even more independent.

I agree, I'm fine with the 600mhz in my N900, I would've liked more RAM but 1GHZ for a phone is pushing it in my opinion. Battery life is also an essential for phones, we still need that balance between power and power.

I'm always running the latest firmware, trust me.
Well look this is just a matter of personal preference.
And sorry, I wasn't clear enough when I talked about "Maemo". I meant Maemo 5 on the N900. So sorry, should've said this at once.

The real question is, how many people here new to Maemo would still get the N900 if it had a Snapdragon CPU (with other words, no multi-tasking beyond 10 apps and no Bounce Evolution).

Then again, maybe the N1000 will end up with Intel Inside to go with Meego. Intel Moorestown ULV Atom chip 1.6 GHz. I could live with that.
Nokia should be aiming to increase the battery life with new devices compared to the N900, not reduce further from it. For me, the minimum should be 48 hours with a general usage pattern (not 'idle').

i want to have more cores instead of more mhz..
i would love to have a Cortext A9 in dual core configuration..

Nokia needs to remember this is being used as a phone, not just a portable media device or small netbook which is usually only switched on when in use, and not used throughout the day.
Also, Nokia could help the battery life situation in future devices by possibly using an OLED display (although an equivalent resolution OLED display might not have been available) and a larger battery (the n900 BL-5J has 1320 mAh, while the E-72 BP-4L is a 1500 mAh part).

I think, that it is unlikely, because Nokia is working tight together with TI. Almost every mobile from Nokia is using a TI chipset.
