Would be nice...Maemo5 as the primary OS, an 8-16GB microSD with Froyo and another with Meego.
Venemo I agree to a certain extent. The only reason I would want Android is apps and games. Other than that I am very happy with Maemo5. That is why I want it to remain as a primary OS. But if they work on Meego instead of NitDroid, who says Meego won't be worse than Android?

NITdroid will be the fan favourite.
Why you ask?
It's actually going to have support by the devs!
Unlike Nokia's stance on Meego.

- Unlock/Lock switch on the right side

- FM Transmitter
- FM Radio
- Camera
I'm not belittling the hard effort required to resolve those things. But (I'm assuming) that effort is significantly different/easier/less-time-consuming than coding/integrating new core features for Meego like Phone, Calendar, Contacts, Email, etc.
- 3D Driver
- DSP
- Proximity sensor
- Proper Screen Blanking
Though maybe the first two weren't on the list for a reason?

Anyhow on topic. I'd use Maemo 5 and dual boot Android for gaming if I run out of Snes and N64 games to play.

Hmm those are very surprising figures!!!
According to the poll, only 16.6% of N900 owners are happy to stay with Maemo!
A huge majority (83.3%) wants meego (45.2%) or android (38.1%!!).
That means if you recommend this phone to someone else, there's only a 1 in 6 chance that the person will be content with the OS that it comes with... and future upgradeability is still questionable (ease of installation, support and 100% functionalities should be taken into account).
And this is from a maemo community site, where it should have the highest concentration of maemo's fans.

Those figures are not accurate IMO. We are all humans. And one of the greatest strengths (and weakness) at the same time is that we are never happy.
Maemo could be ten times better than Meego or Android, but unless we try another OS we won't believe it. People always want something better, even if they have the best. Personally I am 100% satisfied with Maemo, but as soon as Meego and Android are fully (or almost fully) working, I will be amongst the first to flash my device and try it. But not because I don't like Maemo. It is because I want to try something new.
That poll would be accurate once Android and Meego are available, and users have tried them all. Then one can decide which one he likes best.

To the question of the topic, I'd say MeeGo as it has a professional team officially doing a HW adaptation for N900. NITDroid might have an edge in the built in application features though, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
