I hate the fact that people see all their mates buying iphones and then stating, Apple has the most market share. Oh come on gimme a break. I hate Nokia. Yes i do to the core coz of their OS “Symbian”. The worst OS Ever. Also I hate Apple iOS4, the hyped update of Apple Inc. Brings nothin extra to the table. the same damned UI. No possibility for creativity. And in such a time pops in Maemo 5, the thing that most techies out there marvell upon. The phone with a Command Line Terminal…. How wicked is that? I make up; scripts and do all kinds of wierd and geeky stuff. to be frank, my colleages, the iphone freak, had his mouth opened when i dual booted Android with Maemo. How much more can this device do, much much more, and the Maemo Devs are amazing when it comes to creativity. Apple Fanboys, we don’t wanna hurt your feelings but, guess the iphone 4 again has nothing new to make mouths drop.

On a “complete” N900, with the full O/S installed.
And then another review when Meego is available for the device.

I chose the N900 because I was sick to death of hearing “iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, iPhone” I went against the advice of the sales assistant in the shop, and after doing my sums (on my N900), I realised if I’d have gone the other way I’d have been paying a hell of a lot more than what I’m doing now.
When the iPhone was announced Apple came on like they’d saved the world from impending doom (much like Microsoft did with Vista).
I’m enjoying the N900 and the freedom it offers. The freedom to install what I want, the freedom to get my music from wherever I like without being snooped on, the freedom to install a new battery if the original packs up, without calling down the wrath of the iGods.
I got sick of the iPhones at work over the past months. When I introduced my N900 and the iPhones stayed in the pockets and handbags for a change.
And I’ve just heard that Apple have been officially told they don’t “own” the letter “i”. Lots of things start with the letter “i”.
ice-cream, icicle, iced finger, idiot.

I am still playing with the phone and learning but am getting to grips with it. I have added the testing repo which has opened up a lot more to play with.

Look forward to chatting to all the other N900 users at http://www.NokiaN900Forum.net this really does feel like an enthusiasts phone, not just another run of the mill handset.

The iphone is exactlty that a phone with some bells and whistles thrown in. The N900 is pretty much a portable computer with a phone thrown in.

People think because they both have phone functionality these two devices are comparable.

The iphone will always have its place and always be a top selling phone world wide, the marketing campaign is great and the usability is so easy.

The N900 is for people that want more than just a phone.

So simply said, if your looking for a new phone to buy. Buy an iphone. If you looking for a mobile computer with a phone built in buy a N900.

You are an idiot for using an iPhone for serious business communications. A business machine absolutely must have rapid accurate text entry either via keyboard for westerners or a stylus for asians. I’d bet your iPhone has cost you clients by inducing you to send terser less informative emails.

Apple sells sexy feeling consumer electronics, not business machines. You’ll also notice how Apple actually bans business oriented apps like VoIP and tethering. iPhones handle games pretty damn well however.

I will get the nokia N900, I think it looks fantastic, unlike the iphone i probably will not want to give it back after 5 mins. Iphone is nothing more than an itouch with a bad phone.

I do not pledge sypport to a particular brand in fact I have had so many brands of recent its hard to say which is best.

But the N900 top me is a breath of fresh air, decent processor, decent RAM, Decent OS, decent camera and it multtasks 21 tasks at once.
