N8 is a mass market device, the N900 wasn't. If you plan to sell more devices, you can make them cheaper.

N8 runs Symbian, which is less ressource-hungry than Maemo. They can safely use "last years technology" for many parts and still get a good performance. The N900 needed to be up to date when it was introduced.

Which is better ARM 11 680 mhz or N900's ARM Cortex A 8 600 mhz?

most definitely Cortex A8. It's a significant upgrade from the ARM11s.

i just got the n8 yesterday and swappin it for the iphone4 as my second phone. after having the n900 for over a year i have to say that playin around with a symbian device is painful and disappointing. i couldnt even look past the poor display on the n8 without feelin sick. the only positives i found was the ovi store ui which i felt was a huge improvement, and the graphics processor. nothin touches the n900 in my opinion. the iphone will probably be sold or jailbroken at some point lol

If we combine both Processor + GPU of N8 and N900 ,which will provide better all round performance?

I was talking about the chipset as a whole. It's a newer developed chipset compared to the OMAP 3. Whether or not the cpu is faster or not (arm11 vs A8) is up in the air, but if the N8 does have an arm11 (older revision) then the N900 might win in that aspect only.

-Why Nokia produced N900 if they cant supported 100%?
-whats the use of Maemo if nokia not making major up-dates in their firmwares?
- Why many announcement & applications are not their ( Ovi & Maemo Select ) while other competitors planned for their handsets before releasing them.

<<< Why N900 is there????>>>

The Broadcom BCM2727 is the fastest GPU yet. Not only 2D/3D, but photo and video as well. The N8 has one ARM11 and one BCM2727
