Just think when Maemo 6 comes out you have a shiny flashy UI but no apps. Your Memo 5 device will have a fully stocked app store, serious polish and reliability, and they would have fixed that niggly thing that you have a gripe with (drop your own personal beef in here).

And I will be able to pick up N900s at 150 quid a pop on ebay because you schmucks have all gone to the next great thing.

Why would I upgrade?

1) Because developers can write Qt 4.6 apps now and run on Maemo 5.
2) Maemo 6 can run Gtk+ apps. in the same way Ubuntu can run KDE apps and Kubuntu can run Gnome apps.

Even less reason to upgrade then, as I have Qt4.6 apps on my N900.

Can't remember which one but saw it on google search by accident.
I think this is one of them:

FYI, I love my N900. I dropped it once and it gave me a heartattack. Luckily it dropped on my foot. So no damage was found. I want to see N900 grow with maemo6 and Hopefully getting all the CANDIES LOVE!

There is a resistive multi-touch screen controller chip out now.

Anyone actually seen any sensible snapdragon benchmarks? GHz is useless...

For example, the N900 cpu even if it ran at 400MHz like in N810, would still be about twice as fast as the N810 CPU...

I think 800Mhz would be the best CPU of mobile device, I remembered that iPhone overclocked it to 800Mhz and then it drain battery like a thirsty person sucking on a juice bottle. But now it currently underclock to 600Mhz to resolve the problem with battery.

As for the multi-touch chip ST32, it's very nice I would like and prefer resistive mult-touch over the Capacitive though.

It is quite obvious that support for Maemo5 will diminish greatly (aside from individual developers from the community) once Maemo6 is released.

if nokia is smart they will bring out maemo 6 first for the N900 so that we will beta test the new os for them, then after the first big upgrade they will launch a new phone with it. So that that phones has a tested (except multi touch) os...
