You must have fun waiting for the developers to re-jailbreak the device every time Apple does a update. I did consider the iPhone (well iPod Touch for the first time around when it was iPod Touch vs the n800 in 2007) and then the iPhone 3GS vs the N900. Both times the Apple devices lost both rounds for several reasons. One of them being having to sit in a back and forth battle between Apple and the jailbreakers.

iPhone user here. I picked up the 3G on launch day and I've been relatively happy with it... after jailbreak, of course. It's a good device for most people out there, and I think it's plain stupid for a lot of the people here to bash the iPhone for being what it is. It's a contract phone that is beginning to dominate a contract-saturated market. Having said that, I would just get more and more frustrated by the closed-market, controlled environment that the iPhone is. Jailbreaking shouldn't be necessary. It can slow a device down and is a complete ***** to keep up with update after update. Cydia is a terribly slow and convoluted way to install new apps.

I'm done trying to dance my way around Apple to use my phone how I want. I'm getting the N900 because it can do whatever I want it to. There are few apps on the iPhone that I consider truly necessary, and the N900 replicates every bit of functionality I need from the iPhone and more.

To each his own. I'm liking my iPhone less and less each day, and personally can't wait to get the N900. And hey, I can sell this iPhone unlocked for $350 and pay for a brand new Google Nexus One when it ships as well :)

just love the bashing on both sides.... criticizing a phone is like an insult to a family member. i need to get a life....

i kind of find it ironic how some users are somewhat insulting about hacking/jailbreaking a phone or operating system.. its funny to what excuses people can make about their phones or others. reads like a bunch of hypocrites

a phone is a phone.....to each their own. you wold have thought the world had gone mad?:D

please forgive me, i dont have an iphone or n900. im just trolling to see what phone i want next but cant afford.

The device is sold assuming I hear back from the buyer tomorrow.

I find your post to be most 'offensive' of them all actually. Everyone have a right to be as passionate as they want about a gadget. You slamming people for posting here - and then posting yourself is rather ironic.

Bolding choice-pats of sentences asking me to do this and moderators to do that - in bold text - is really coming across as very abraisive and holier-than-thou.

Insead Whatever,

kopte3 is just trying to direct the community to the right way, does not mean you are correct.

Now since you have sold your N900, just go ready to collect your money and enjoy Christmas ski-trip.

I agree with your post 100%. I got my Nokia N 900 and amazingly enough I can not get my work email on MfE, while it works flawlessly on my iphone3gs. I was hoping for more, but truly dismayed by Nokias inability to produce a solid software device
