I've been hoping for the N900 Rover to be released, but there hasn't been any more news about it. In fact, the last thing I read was from Engadget that said the whole thing was a hoax :-( http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/07/nokia-n900-revealed-in-nseries-presentation/ I recently got to try an iPhone and after having an N810, I just couldn't understand why the iPhone is so sought after. The first time I tried to SSH to a host and get some information I needed from the mail application to copy/paste, I ran into the lack of multitasking (the SSH program quit while I went to the mail program and I had to login again!) and wished to back on my N810. Now I'm trying my first ever S60r3 device, the E75. It's nice to have one device to carry that does Wifi and is my phone. I was carrying my TM506 phone along side my N810 for a long time. But, I find myself missing the large screen, though I have been quite surprised by how feature rich S60r3 is. Heck! I was even able to print a photo directly from the phone to a wireless printer. That's the first time I was ever able to do that without a laptop/desktop intervening! Oh! And one last thing to be aware of on the Android front - not all Android devices are shipped "with Google". T-mobile's myTouch 3G is, but the Hero is not. Apparently that distinction means that the Hero will not have the tight integration with the Google online apps that the T-mobile G1 has had. This review of the myTouch 3G talks a bit about what "with Google" means: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=295&p=2177 And here's another Hero review: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hero-review-382.php Still keeping my fingers crossed for an N900/Rover announcement at next months Nokia World, but not holding my breath.
