Re: N900 vs Iphone.
 
@sachin: I use a few 3rd party programs on the iphone (for multitasking, for allowing skype over 3G, etc) and with one of them you can 'pull' a small drawer on top of the screen with a bunch of toggles (they're customizable). I have the following toggles set on mine:
Cellular, 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, Brightness..

In my daily usecase I use wifi at home and at work and I generally toggle wifi on only when I enter those two areas. It's very quick to do... turn on the phone, swipe the lock, swipe down for drawer and there's one-click access for all the toggles I mentioned above.

For 'saved' access points, it will auto-connect without any prompts (you'll see the 3G icon replaced with the WIFI 'fan' icon).

Want me to take a short video (<1 minute) to show you around?
Won't hurt to see what the competition's like. Heh.

Has backgrounder improved yet? (multi-tasking you mentioned). Last I looked into it (when considering the iPhone) it was buggy and crash prone. Though to be fair ysss, alot of those uses you mentioned seems to imply that you jailbreaked the device. And in that case you should point out that out too. =P

No i will take your word. I live with my friend who has a iphone 3G but never cared much to use it. My n810 is lot more useful because i have configured to my tastes. I guess the same applies to iphone users not caring to use the n810.

But i guess with the n900 there is no need to do that toggling also. As he mentioned in the video that there is actually no wireless on/off. So the wifi automatically kicks in when you are in an area with wireless. I find it a very useful feature. I am not sure about the usability because my n810 does not have 3G.... so it is going to be different for me.

@sachin: Well, by default there's no quick-toggle for the wifi. I just installed the quick toggle utility so I can keep them off when I know for sure iI won't be using it to lessen power drains and whatnot.

Hmmm.. no wireless on\off? I'd much prefer to have one..

I may be wrong. He acutally did not say that there is no wireless on/off. But i assumed that since the internet tablets where supposed to be always on. Also this is the case with the n810 because it does not have 3G but only wifi. But i assume the ability to switch wifi on/off will definitely be there on the n900.

Well, it's kind of pointless to compare facts with assumptions at this point.

Let's talk and compare more when we can use less 'I assumes' in our sentences. I've also put in my amazon preorders, so I won't be blowing hot airs either when doing the comparisons.

Sounds good. Then we can do the n900 vs iphone thing again :D

Yes, i jailbroke my device. I don't think i'd buy the iphone if it's not jailbreak-able. If that was the case, i'd probably buy the ipod touch to use the browser and games tethered to another phone.

Backgrounder + kirikae works well for me, just have to watch the memory consumption and close some apps when the free mem goes below 30MB.

My iphone very rarely crashes (actually i can't recall any unplanned reboots ever since i've upgraded to 3gs, more than 2 months ago). When an app doesn't get enough ram, it closes and dumps you back to homescreen (springboard). That's also a rarity on the 3GS (3x more free ram after loading the OS compared to the previous iphones. )
