It's the closest thing to a pocket sized computer/phone hybrid there is. I don't use n900 as a daily device anymore but I use it for doing fun and hacky thing that are impossible with android and ios. I simply love the freedom to use it similarly to how I'm using my desktop Linux box. To me android, ios, etc. are all feature phone operating systems with way too many limitations. Besides I hate the 'functionality comes with apps' approach they have. Just take a stock maemo image and compare what you can do with it against android, etc.

Just my 0.02

They had a unique UI, but incomplete execution. Very disappointing optimization compares to ios or WP. And that has always been Nokia's problem: inability to deliver perfectly optimized software. So ideas were unique, perhaps visionary, but execution on the software side poor. No wonder they are both dead.

Wumpwoast is wite -- the point is that the N900 hasn't stopped making significant improvements even now! It has more lives than Rasputin and is harder to kill.

Maemo's optimization allows for it to perform so well on older hardware, whilst providing true multitasking. The excellent work by the CSSU crew extends that optimization providing the devices with a further lease of life.

Nokia's problem has been poor management (both before and after Elop's arrival) and the Osbourne effect caused by the Feb11 declaration.

In fact maemo + cssu serves me enough

what i would like is flash 11 and most of all i think that the best thing to have on maemo is the ability to run android apps. I think there is diavalik for this but I dont think they support the N900 unfortunately.
