    It needs to have at least an LED on its front screen or a mini display like the E90 if its to fulfill its duty as a phone!! I love it too though, especially if meego can be ported on it..

    Android is better than Meego.

    And can you explain why ?!

    Android is one of the most Closed Open source OS Meego , with the help of Maemo 5 will be stunning, have you ever try it on your netbook ? have you ever give the N900 a try ? you will understand why they got a lot of potential , and the arrival of Qt environnement will allow devs to create realy nice UI and will bring new UI ehancement to Meego

    android is cool just beacause google is powered it, and now with fragmentation it becames more and more confus , have you heard that the Linux foundation erase the google code from linux kernel ? even if google says android is open source , it stays really restriced by drivers , UI , and version fragmentations , i got a Milestone and a N900 and even if the Milestone is good i prefer a lot more surfing on my N900
