I'm still not sure about the N900. It feels like a prototype for Nokia's next range of smartphones so I'm tempted to wait until 2010 and see if a keyboardless 910 or 920 comes out.
@MarkAnderson The fact that it is marketed to enthusiasts leaves me wondering if I should take the plunge myself. My K790 has served me well but I feel like its time to catch up. But a keyboard is a must for me right now.

Or I might just get one anyway.
Hmm...
@MarkAnderson They openly admit this is for enthusiasts and not for mainstream. It's definitely a taste of more awesome to come, but just phase 1.
@MarkAnderson As Jonn said Mark, its not aimed to be a mass market device. Its a taste of the future for those who want it.
They never ever positioned of marketed it as a flagship.
The blogosphere took that upon themselves and now we see them saying "its a fail because its not ready as yet"!

Oh I know, it just feels a little unfinished but , as you point out, I guess the point is to tweak it in the tech community before going mainstream.
