I think the iPhone & android phones are fun in a shiny corporate way but the n900 is European "we want to be crazy as Germans" kind of way.
Why are Germans crazy? Heard about this the first time... xD

pretty disappointing, will most new android devices finally getting multi touch the x10 won't because of hardware issues.

The Samsung Galaxy i7500 is an example of a phone with a capacitive screen that doesn't support multi touch. It is AFAIK still uncertain wether the hardware is capable, but the driver isn't. Furthermore the driver isn't open source and Samsung aren't winning any prices for their support (severe lack of updates), so there's very little chance for driver support (asuming the HW is capable).

Multitouch has licencing/patent issues. Consider Droid vs Milestone.

My old k800i is 3.2 megapixel (with actual usable flash) and totally blows away the n900 camera. Nokia cameras are usually pants anyway & the flash is lame - a soft glowing matchstick is better than the flash.
Now remember android is implemented via a java-type virtual machine so that 1ghz cpu may not be fast it should (pure speculation on my part).
If it was released at the same time than the n900 it would have been a very difficult choice for me.
But I like the hackability & general quirkiness of the n900 and the community too.
(Who in their right mind would write an app that measures how far you drop or throw your n900 - that is just f***ing nuts!)
I think the iPhone & android phones are fun in a shiny corporate way but the n900 is European "we want to be crazy as Germans" kind of way.
Have fun with your SEX10.
