I never liked Nokia and was fan of Motorola because of Montavista linux based MotoRokr E6. After an unfortunate death of E6 I started looking for alternative Motorola Smartphone with full linux. As Motorola is completely in relationship with Android I decided to let go my grudges with Nokia and bought Maemo N900. I appreciate the hardware and effort Nokia had put in Maemo but leaving it for Windows is like traitor Hittling in the Back.
