Re: Should I get the N900? I want a mobile computer, not a phone.
 

Assuming portability is not a concern, wouldn't something similar to a netbook or UMPC be better than the N900.

Yes...but I wouldn't want to carry a UMPC around as people around me would take me as a nerd.

But when I take out the N900 the others would just think I'm playing with a brand new Nokia phone and that takes me to the front of pick-up line! (j/k)

I think we need a separate thread for people describe how the n900 has contributed to their success with the opposite sex.

For me, not even slightly.

I think a umpc or netbook would be a better option too, as long as it was fully supported by linux (particulary when it comes to power management).

Refrain your head from leaning forward and your mouth from opening while using N900 would help. ^^

Joking apart, N900 is way better than a netbook or UMPC in many circumstance, especially when you can reduce cumbrance by carrying one phone less.

I did just this for my first two months owning an N900. I got it as a replacement for my iPod Touch.
