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.

In my nightmares mostly.

While I agree the DROID is a wonderful phone, and it's actually a phone which gives it a slight edge. Personally...I'm a fan of Resistive Screens, Bulky hardware, and devices that aren't handed to teenagers for $200.

I'm willing to bet though the N900 is going to have far superior build quality, and having used every build of android since I first picked up my ADP1 I can say I'm truly tired of the platform, it has plenty off apps sure, I personally feel that until I see 2.0 in action that I'm still going to be unimpressed.

But I'm still unimpressed by Maemo 5, but it's something new I guess, and definitely has much more room to grow, and it's openness will give the platform much more ability to expand without having Cease and Desist letters involved.



P.S. I fail to see how the DynaTAC gives them any edge in the current market.
