I plan to go to a dumb phone + tablet combo next. While it lasts, the N900 and a tablet will be great.
I think it's delusional to spend big sums on pocket technology. It just isn't worth it.

Next Phone?
I try every phone I can get my hands on.....conclusion thus far?
I'm going to make my N900 last as long as I can.
I'm currently looking for a spare.

Anyway, I understand where you are coming from. But tablets are too large, and the good ones doesn't have hw keyboard. A more modern N900, 4 inch hi res screen, hw keyboard would be perfect. OS? Symbian is by far preferable, but Maemo is fine also.

I've yet to find out the true N900 sale numbers.

Now added a poll.
But just one side note:when I said maemo/meego I also meant any similar operating systems too(debian or meego alike(I think meego is fedora based if I am not wrong.))

Meego is based mainly on Moblin as I've seen, and that one was based just partially on Fedora. I think Maemo is closer to Debian than Meego to Fedora.

The download stats - I know from even my time/experience that I downloaded the same thing multiple times due to either reformats, updates that went wonky or me screwing up my own install and starting back again with a new install.
So those numbers are a bit inflated. And in some cases, not wholly reliable - some of the best apps got minimum downloads for some reason.

But as it stands, it didn't happen. I've yet to find out the true N900 sale numbers.
