All of that went through my mind before I ordered my n900 too..

In the end I figured that I don't know a thing about the next device & I didn''t want to wait all that time to find out that it doesn't have a keyboard or something similar so I just went ahead and ordered it

I love the phone, but as I sad previously, I'm a student, and you all know how it is when you're a student (very low on finance), but I saved money for a new laptop, but in the meanwhile I don't need one anymore (I've got a nice workstation at the university), so now I just think this would be much better for mobility (I commute every weekend and most of my projects are in the field, so again lots of time wasted moving).

I'm still in the doubt, especially since I've read about that usb port problem which I still don't know if they have fixed it (right now I'm waiting for my new carrier to get restock on N900 so I think they should have fixed it )

There is another thread addressing exactly your concerns:

You need to have a look at a program u can download to the n900. It shows general information on the maemo 6 apps and some of its features. It also gives screen preview of what it 'may' look like. The one majour change for users will be portraid mopde and added apps that can be uised between both systems. You need to look into it more before you judge it. J
