Why? I think Milestone is pretty decent to begin with nod.gif

@super_evil_alien

Yep...that is true...Nokia mainly market this device as a computer first...phone second
And I really want to see how the evolution of Debian based Maemo to Fedora based Meego will take place...and how it will affect the N900 icon_rolleyes.gif

That's why I don't mind about the phone functions of N900.I browse internet way more than I call people.That's the main reason I want to get this phone.

You should watch the endgadgets review video.The reviewer said he seriously considering having N900 for the internet browsing.It's that good.

N900 is better in term of speed, spec, OS and very powerful. But compare with Motorola Milestone, N900 is thick, heavy, and the 3rd line keypad lack of space between the screen makes it hard to type and also, lack of application too.

Been using Motorola Milestone and have used a N900, I felt N900 is alot simple to use then the Motorola Milestone. If you willing to bare the thickness and heaviness then go with N900. If not, choose other phone la.  icon_rolleyes.gif

How do you find the milestone? I think the slim design and build quality is nice, the screen also looks nicer?
The milestone only comes with 512mb internal storage right? That one of the major drawback I know of.

Actually, N900 just officially launch in Dec last year, so considering the app available today, it considered good already. And if you go into the devel and testing repositories, you won't say it lack apps anymore, there're quite a lot apps and widgets available until the 4 desktop is not enough for me. It's cramped! rclxms.gif

Besides, since N900 have full support for Flash.... just throw any SWF files into your phone and enjoy~
If you watch the Flash Video "Xiao Xiao" before, there is one episode 6, which is the Virtual Cop remake in Xiao Xiao style. There's also Raiden Project game in Flash version, Balloon Duel in Flash version.... soo many more games in Flash. Talk about Flash apps/games/videos, there're just so many out there. icon_rolleyes.gif

There are a lot of people wondering which type of people should get N900.
Personally I think those who heavily browse internet,listen to music & make normal phone call should get this phone.
People complain that this phone lack some phone function.They should remember that this is actually internet tablet with phone functions.Almost all the reviews say that this is the best browsing phone available today. 
But if you are looking for some "business' related function you're probably better off with blackberry or other phones.

Nokia phones have different series targeted for different purpose.
The "N" series are not targeted for business, the "E" series is the one. The "N" series is for multimedia, I think. I didn't follow already this series thing.
Last time it was more simple with numbers from 1xx to 9xx. The 6 series is for business, 5 series for sports or something like that, 7 series designer series, etc. Can't remember all already.

Maybe someone who is more clear on it can correct me or share their information nod.gif

True2...The MicroB browser is that good...And considering how biased Engadget towards Apple, when they say that it COMPLETELY blows Mobile Safari out of the water, you should get the idea on how GOOD the browser is thumbup.gif

Besides, for me, I really loved Linux (used puppy linux before and currently Ubuntu Moblin) and by having a TRUE linux phone, it just like a dream come true LOLOL laugh.gif

But based on my experience, Symbian is alot simple then Android. And android do lag abit (currently using Motorola Milestone). I think Maemo > Android, but if its in term of application support, Android > Maemo. I think my Motorola milestone is slower then the N900 I used before.
