If you plan to use it "solely" for taking notes, why don't you just get a regular 10" netbook, instead of a 3.5" tablet?

capacitive touchscreen is not an issue as the n900 has the best resisitive screen out there.
there are other devices out there, but none quite match the n900 still. it is still a good device and if you can find one second hand or new discounted it would be a good buy.
there is a strong possibility that the N900 sucessor will be announced at the end of next week. even if it is it will probably not hit the shelves for at least a couple of months.
the n900 is still a unique device and will be a relevant device which will be well supported by the community for a long time to come.

So, I'll wait until the next academic year at the latest.

there is a strong possibility that the N900 sucessor [sic] will be announced at the end of next week. even if it is it will probably not hit the shelves for at least a couple of months.

On another note, how does MeeGo compare to Maemo from a feature and development set? Does it have a strong development community yet?

I also have a second-hand HP netbook, and let me tell you the HP has an unbelievably comfortable keyboard for such a small device.
I am currently in the market for a netbook which I would use solely for taking notes for my college classes. I currently own a high-end, Ubuntu-powered desktop, and a Nexus one running on T-Mobile. While considering my options, I thought of the Nokia N900 device. It would be very appealing to have a fully capable, 3G cell phone with the power and versatility of a netbook. While it might be awkward to use it as a regular phone, the kickstand design would be perfect for quickly placing it on a desk to type notes with a small Bluetooth keyboard...
For taking notes in a classroom, honestly, a decent netbook will serve you better (and be much less expensive) than any of the current handheld devices out there.
