why would you buy an Android phone this close to the MeeGo release?
Besides, I used my n900 enough and I wanted a change and I like android. The only thing that bugs me is the multitasking 'cause I really MISS the tabs view in maemo.
Maybe in a year or two I'll try meego or maybe not if android keeps improving.

I would buy an Android one because I am determined not to buy a Nokia device. I have already bought five devices from Nokia and I think that's enough. I don't trust Nokia. As has been pointed out, Nokia seems to be abandoning its devices faster and faster. I'm not interested in being part of that. If I'm going to be betrayed, let it be by another company for a change.

How is the WiFi connectivity and reliability?
I have terrible issues on the girlfriends HTC Hero and the provider is replacing it with a Desire in the quest for a cure.
My research points towards some android OS issues, HTC claims it is only an issue with older android devices, that's why I'm interested in your assessment.

Rather than double the size of a pixel to make an iPhone app fit on an iPad screen, a Qt based app would have just seemlessly resized itself.
Ditto for putting iOS on a nano sized device.

Don't get me wrong, it has been a tremendously useful device that I use daily, but I have limited time/desire to muck around in an OS these days just to get it to work properly, and need something that I can pick up and use.
Once is mistake enough for me. I started doing research before jumping into purchases, and thankfully there are wondeful devices out there that are collectively praised.
I am very weary and cautious about MeeGo and a MeeGo device. I would consider it if and only if it a) very highly praised, b) did things that no other device did, and c) I was convinced that it would be supported into the future. These points requires at least two-years of observation, so the first round of MeeGo tablets are out for me.
