i used to be (and still am) a samsung-fan. most of my electronic devices are samsung, because i really dig the build quality ad especially the design of their products.
so before the n900, i had a samsung jet. and before the jet, i had the samsung u700 (which i still own, as a "backup-phone", so to speak)
i really liked the samsung jet, and for what it is, its a awesome phone.
but i wanted to take my mobile experience to the next level, and samsung doesnt offer a "hardcore"-device like the n900.
i'm excited what their bada-devices are going to be like, though...

A Nokia 6300 candy bar 
Before the N900 is haven't been into phones very much, since I wasn't convinced they give me a good enough mobile computing experience.
The N900 gives me
- ICQ (Pidgin)
- IRC(xchat)
- EMail, thought the client sux because it lacks threads
- a shell
- ssh! when tinkering around I'm always logged in to inspect the file system or so
- A wiki that tells me how to port my existing knowledge of python and C++ coding to this phone.
- ipython
- vim
- gnuplot
It took me only three days to know this phone inside out, since I'm a Linux user for five years now and was running ubuntu and debian for 1.5 years.
I expected this feeling of familiarity and it was the reason why i choose the N900 over an Android phone.
As you guys experienced as well some things are far from being perfect. I.e. except for sharing, none of the ovi offerings work and I still see no easy way to sync with my kde-PIM stuff.
However, the pros outweight this cons by far and for me this phone/mobile_computer has no alternatives.
Best,

my brother has an htc hd2 [leo] but he really likes my n900... altough he says he would never change! :P we all know what goes inside of him seeing the multi tasking, media playback and all the cool mods because hd2 was supposed to be a very personalized phone ... too bad nokia / maemo / linux shattered their dreams with fully customized 4 panel panorama desktop with tweakable shortcuts and contacts and all the lovely things we have...
