Ya, I knew being TS is tough, much much more worst for N900. Imagine aspire being TS for so long, especially when it first started. Anyway, for those features, if Nokia wants to add it in, it's should be very easy and many things could've been done on the OS, it's a great OS which is different from other smartphone OS, too bad it's been left aside.
I remember when the N900 was still new, it was sold at lowyat forums for over 3.3K, there're people who bought it and then sold it after a short while. Later AP starts bringing in and the price drops to around 2K++. It was after quite some time, finally Nokia Malaysia decided to bring it in, but the Launching event seems nothing compared to India and HK where there're so many professionals in the event sharing tons of information and capabilities of the device.

As for N8 or Symbian, it's suited/targeted for more variety of Customers; but for me, as N900 user, really cannot switch, N900 connection to WLAN is excellent compared with Symbian, web browsing blows everything away, the "true" integrated social network accounts (+ can add more via 3rd party plugins), sharing feature to accounts, mplayer with KMplayer to play almost every type of video files, gosh, too many to list. BUT then, this depends on individual if he/she likes all the features I just mentioned.
Aside from that, having used to using physical keyboard is another issue when using the N8 which doesn't have physical keyboard, so many things is "harder" to do, typing sms, email, message, etc is "very the pain". E7 looks great plus having physical keyboard, but the let down is the camera and no external storage support. There just have to be something lacking, so hard to find an "almost complete" device from Nokia.
Will see how MeeGo devices from Nokia turns out, the specs, etc. Hopefully, it's really a high end device with great functions and features overall...
