Tried other phone(y's) and their platforms ..
future trash...s'all I can say from all I have tried and seen of the competition.
Still usin' mah n900 ...contently.
can't wait for the neo ...iieeee! (my tiny shriek of excitement) with whatever os I can mangle onto it.

A device is what you make of it...what you can do with it...how much you can do with it....it's longevity.....and most importantly it's community.
After that...all the flashy trash that comes and goes so quickly in current consumer desirability...the fb, the twitters, the whatsapps and all their ilk ...is really truly so irrelevant ...
I understand if some basics are becoming difficult...the n900 successor should address them and be relevant for a long time to come.

For myself I have avoided the lure of crow-like jumping to the "next" shiny pebble...
and the "next" ...
and the "next"...
and the "next" purportedly powerful and incredibly great device...
that always seems to end up being...
that it isn't so great.

Hell ..forget the latest octocore whatever..
I'm still captivated by my n8x0's
