Yes.

If you don't have the urge to:

- launch xterm and do some text acrobatics in it
- port some apps to maemo/meego
- write at least half a dozen shell scripts a day
- use cron than a gui alarm
- touch yourself, when you think about N900's hardware specs
- NOT be 'normal' (or if you think that 'normal = sheep'.)

then you should get rid of your N900!

You sound like a self-hating geek.

Well, I cant really afford to switch devices if you are wondering.

I like the fact that its a unique device. Dont see people using it often if at all.

If Droid is the device you are thinking of switching, I suggest you holding on with N900 for a while... not only you get to see how the situation evolves on Maemo/Meego after PR1.2, but maybe you will find the next device on Verizon more attractive than Droid.

That guy looks like he's having more fun than most of us here.

Anyway. Forgot to mention that the N900 has built in 32gigs which is perfect for being a music player (too bad the media player sucks) while the droid doesn't. And it doesn't support 32gb XDHC either.

Anyway, my opinion will be more solid somewhere around June. In the meanwhile I'm enjoying it - it's not like I hate it or something. Browsing the web with it is great.
We'll just have to see how good pr 1.2 is.
