if nostalgia is the only reason then I'd agree with you but it isn't.
I like the hardware keyboard, fmtx, and ir (though recent androids have that now).
and I can't fully trust android. (paranoia is different from nostalgia)

Not to mention the terrible battery life, bad camera, low quality lcd, resistive touch screen and chunkiness.
The world has simply passed the n900 by, sadly. I did love it back in 2009
after cssu and the tweaks around here, I no longer find the n900's battery life terrible.
I also disagree with the camera being bad. stock camera is actually good and so is the lcd. I don't know why you'd call the n900's lcd bad. is it the size?
resistive yes but it's responsive and people here who draw using mypaint use it very well. I don't mind the resistive screen but I do appreciate the fact that I can use almost anything as a stylus for it.

chunkiness, yes that's another point I'd have to agree with you.

I also use a galaxy note 2 btw.
