The big screen 3.7 vs 3.5, full 4 row keyboard vs 3 row and perversely placed space key, yet the DROID is still thinner and lighter than N900.

Where is the compass in N900, where is the capacitive screen and multitouch, bigger battery where are the basic apps, Sorry Mauku is ok but v basic, BBC iPlayer etc ?.

Nokia has wasted enough time releasing the N900 and with phones like HD2 and now this amazing DRIOD. I fear the N900 will be DOA and fail to deliver on its promise. As for NOKIA > Moto, dont forget that Moto was making mobiles while NOK was making rubber boots.

Sorry but Nokia has been moving at snails pace and has lost the plot completely. Hopefully they wake up by Maemo 6 but that may be too late.

You can't really compare the Droid to the N900. Droid is Android, N900 is Linux. I for one like so many other people like the resistive screen that the N900, solely based on the fact that capacitive can get on your nerves because of missed touches. It's hard to hit small things on a capacitive screen ( I have a 3GS, and had a 3G and I hate it ) whereas resistive just use your stylus. Every single person who has reviewed the N900 has said they can't believe it's a resistive screen, because it's so responsive.

Your opinion is your opinion, we all have ours, but personally the way this phone is styled imo, looks like every other Motorola and Verizon phone. The keyboard is nice, bigger battery obviously means it's a power hog, haven't really experience Android at all myself. Everyone has a different need for what they want in a phone.

HD2 on the other hand, I absolutely love. All the early reviews and videos that I have seen have stated HTC has basically gutted the WinMo operating system and you can't really tell that it's a WinMo operating system. Huge display, awesome processor, though no word yet on the memory size, some people are saying 8GB, while others are saying 16GB. It's a phone I will definitely purchase early next year as a JD graduate for myself. N900 plus HD2, and I'll be set for quite some time.

I highly doubt this phone is going to be DOA, especially since it's considered to be one of the most anticipated devices of the year. What other phone has a Linux OS in it? Not to mention the hardware is very nice, as well as the 48 GB memory ( when you include the 16GB microSDHC ). You obviously don't like people dissing Android or Motorola, so you attack the N900...opinions are like *******s, everyone has one...but don't go the offensive because people are expressing their opinions about something they don't like but you can't grasp why.

Motorola might have been making phones before Nokia, but Nokia was making smartphones before Motorola even knew what the definition of 'smartphone' meant. I'm sure this is a nice phone and it'll meet the needs of the people that get it, just like the N900 will mine but imo... Nokia > Motorola
