No matter how pretty WinMo is made, you still cannot hide the fact that its still WinMo underneath. I would have purchased the HD2 if it were something like Android. Although Maemo > Android

Erm... what are you guys mumbling about. Its not even real multitasking; most of the applications are paused when you exit them. Take bounce as an example, the game pauses when you exit it. Also I have yet to see a video of n900 running youtube without it stuttering. I would like to see a video overviewing all multiple tasks without them being paused.... Put 4 youtubes at the same time lol... forget it guys.
The mouse pointer seems to be poor aswell, seems hard to use.

This you can do in desktop windows and that is real multitasking.

A big problem here is network caused delay. As funny as it may seem, my N900 stutters noticeably when there is FAST connection, my guess is that dowloading also uses the CPU, leaving less CPU for the actual playback. If you wait for the loading to finish, it's quite ok.
4 Youtubes at the same time stutter even on my 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo. Not sure about your point.
You mean stylus ?

This is a clever choice indeed, but what if I want to multitask? Which was really my point. It does not multitask.

So if you cant download at high speeds at the same time as watching, how are you supposed to be able to multitask? Also, what do you mean by quite ok? It in the eye of the beholder but any stuttering would irritate me. Specially if I want to enjoy a movie (Ive seen that even divx quality video stutters on n900)

It doesnt on my x2 3800+
You mean stylus ? I actually take this back, I think its great to have the option to produce the small mousepointer :P
youtube videos seem to stutter for the first few seconds on current firmware, but after than runs totally smoothly. As for video/div x show me a video where this is the case.
As I mentioned - youtube/the browser fully multitasks, as does bounce, as does the Mp3 player - tell me that isnt multitasking - this isnt a iphone mate.
All you need to do is look at a youtube video to corroborate this, why are you bothering,
If you really want to see the differences, you could order a HD2 off Amazon, do all the tests you want for 30 days then send it back and get a full refund.
Remember to get it directly from Amazon though, not through the 'sellers'
