chrism_scotland, it sounds like the N900 would be perfectly suited for you, and we don't say that to everyone.

you can also take advantage of front camera and can do video chat over msn and google. details can be found in the forum by a quick search.

Yep, they are, though as yet the front facing camera doesn't work for those services, I don't think.

Front camera works fine for Google Talk conversations, I sue it regularly.

Battery life on the iPhone is better? You must have a seriously duff battery then as my N900 outlasts the iPhones in the office by hours.

How do I get the browsing back to the real cnbc.com web page??

Works fine for me - maybe a cookie setting or the site detecting browsing from a mobile network?

I charge the n900 nightly. I have never seen a low battery signal - never got off the 'green'.

My experience suggests the most battery-trashing activity is phone calls!

second that .. a 5 min call can seriously reduce the battery ..

on the topic of liking the N900 .. i am considering getting a second one if some bloke decides its not right for them and decides to get rid of it cheap :D .. it can be my test system ..

I wouldn't go that far. I spent over an hour in total (about 3 calls) on the phone on Friday, which is unusual for me. By bedtime I was down to about 1/3 battery. Most days I don't go much below half, despite my device having to spend ages signal hunting for a data connection when I'm in work.

Thanks again folks, I'm really between this and a Google Nexus One but I think overall the N900 is a better device, especially with 32GB of memory built in, its pricier but I can probably get hold of one for around £400 which seems a good deal.
