As a big Apple sceptic, and someone generally happy with Nokia, I think that based on the N900 shortcomings and the attention deficit from Nokia I'll strongly consider the next version Iphone after this.

the flagship Device for any company is supposed to be expensive. That is why it is a flagship, ie the best te company can offer.
Look at the Pre/pre plus, droid, blackeberry bold, and evo. They are flagship devices. They are the best ther respective companies offer.

It's not like Nokia hasn't done anything similar before. Look at the E series. The E71 and E63 came out around the same time. But for that form factor, the E71 was the best Nokia could put out.

would it have a hardware keyboard? Slider or integrated? Would the screen be 3.5 inches or 4.1 inches? Would the screen be capacitive or resistive? should it have IPS Tft screen or AMOLED? etc etc

I kind of like having a choice and I even keep different phones for what i am going to be doing and swap sim cards sometimes.

Nokia did recently have Design By Community series though

Wasted my time reading all these pages of comments.

[edit]

All these pages of comments [edit] about how N900 isnt as good as the Iphone 4G require some clarification. I expect this from a symbian forum but from Meemo? seriously?

Apple make one phone - just one. Thats it. Nokia makes hundreds.
Nokia has NEVER until very recently, been behind the game. Nokia's hardware and Software was a good decade ahead of motorolla, samsung and the only company close was sony Ericsson.

Those criticizing meego - seriously? grow up. This is a childish rant. Meego for mobile is not even released yet and you're sharing your useless wisdom. Meego will be very different from any apple OS. It by nature, is different.

There is no "myth" about nokia's approach to Openness. Just look up the "share your mod" thread and you will see what this bad boy Maemo (almost 9 month old device can do).

Everyone else, please contribute respectfully or just go sell your integrity and jump on the iphone wagon. We wont miss you.

Re: iPhone 4
 

saying this doesn't make you any better than people bashing meego. How are you selling your integrity by using an iPhone?

I think the user replaceable battery comes in play for when your old battery has reached its lifetime and you /need/ to replace it. Chances are, the new battery you'll be buying will be much cheaper by then too.

I think the way Nokia designed the N8 is the way to go. The battery isn't "user replaceable", but /is/ user replaceable with a screw driver. If you bought a new battery upon release of the N8, those batteries will probably be around $20-$40. After two years, third party options will be available for $5-$20. Of course, maybe people don't care about such things... keeping their phone for more than two years?! Ridiculous! ;P

The one thing I like about Apple is that everything just works as advertised, there is not stuff in beta or waiting for 3rd parties. For example, the front cam in the N900 was useless until a 3rd party made an app for it. Same with say the EVO and Qik. It seems like they are the only company that does not release beta software to the public, not saying Maemo or Android is bad (I love to mess around with my gadgets hence why I bought a N810 over an iPhone) but its a really big reason why so many people love the iPhone. Android is finally "out of beta" in my opinion, and look how long it took them and what rapid speed they had to develop to overtake Apple. I just don't see that commitment from Nokia...

Re: iPhone 4
 

Choices are nice no they are great but hands down if someone just bring out the best tech thats out now that can be put in a phone most people will choose it seeing its that brand flagship phone but also top of the line. I was always told if you say top tier than mean top tier. It's just if you had to choose between the top of the line car between lexus benz bmw and audi. You would choose the top of the line car which best fit your brand you want. Right?

Re: iPhone 4
 

You start off your post saying
Then finish it saying
Your post is so juvenile, it's embarassing :( Why talk like that, and on a public forum, I just don't understand..

-
Anyway.. Engadget have a nice chart comparing the new iphone against the 'smartphone elite' (Evo 4G, HD2, Pre Plus, and our very own N8), it might be interesting/might not ..

Re: iPhone 4
 

IMO it looks good. The screen is awsome and battery life seems good, if true.

But, same screen size, no real video chat, same storage capacity, only 5mp camera( I was expecting 8mp or better) no 4g.

In sumary: a deception, considering current competition and of coming devices. As other previously stated, Apple used to raise the bar, IMO they did not raised the bar enough, especially when they fall short comparing to others in some many areas.
