nor is a Snapdragon chip from 2007 without a GPU anywhere near OMAP3.
Either way, I have to agree that the OMAP3 (and especially the sgx) seems to be more performing, at least in a per-ghz way, which will probably mean much in a battery-constrained device.

True.. but honestly.. my G1 frustrates me to no end about that. Even the last 6 apps I open.. randomly you'll go to one and realize it's not running anymore..
Because you know.. android decided it was a busy.. and you didn't want that app anyway >.>.

For the OP, as far as the bulkiness of the 900, having taken mine apart due to the USB port coming out, there is no real reason for it being so thick. That said, I wouldn't mind it being "thicker" if it meant a smooth back and space for a higher capacity battery. If this was a tablet, I would have hoped Nokia engineering and management, would have designed it for prolonged use away from power source.
As far as a "metal body", with the Droid, I did several signal tests, and even made a make shift antenna to improve reception. I noticed with its metal battery door off, I experienced a significant gain in signal strength. While I like metal bodied electronics, I can see where it could be beneficial to go full plastic. I will concede however if this is just the nature of CDMA technology, not affecting T-Mo/AT&T 3G bands.
Lastly, chalk me up for not being in love w/Google...they want way, way, too much user info up in "the cloud".
