N900 or???
 
What phone on the market is better than the n900 as a whole and why?

Im a techie so give me specs.
i think Im gonna sell my n900 and get another phone because of these pr1.2 issues. But I can't decide.

I was thinking of the iphone 4 but the signal issue is a dissapointment.

What do you think? help me out

The question is this: If you want as close as you can get to a computer in your pocket, what's better than the N900?

Alot, lol. It's .2mm thick and military grade scratch protection and something I buy for new devices. It removes the signal issue.

It's full body protection remember

You can compare specs using gsmarena.com

I wouldnt really try and compare them. If you need desktop utility on your phone the n900 is in its own class as a phone

Where the iphone excels is commercial apps. Amazing screen. Slick OS that doesnt rely on terminal to work. Superb product development and support. Great accessories. loads of apps -quarter of a million to date. Super slim and sexy device. Better battery life. Other things too but its a good start.

I do not see any good reason to comment on what the guy is and what he is not.... He asked a question, so he is looking for an answer not for a lame attempt of psychoanalysis.... Anyway....

To the author of the thread:
Considering the hardware, there are already enough phones out there with much better hardware, like HTC HD2, SE Xperia X2 etc. (some of them were even on the market at the same time N900 appeared)...
According to me, the problem with any of them is what you get as OS and opportunities when buying them.

Android - an ads bloated apps and a lame community support, you do not get even half of the apps there are for N900... And i am not talking about the number of apps..., rather than functionality.

WinMobile - do you think you can run a torrent app, a http server on it... they even have problems in "seeing" a Linux box running samba... Most of apps paid too.

Apple's s**t... Do not wanna comment at all... Usually i look at them like i look at a wh*re... nice for the eyes and probably for other body parts too... but you never know when you will get a STD :D

So when you take your final decision, just do not forget to calculate the hidden price of the new phone... like the price you pay to your provider for 3G traffic because the apps you use show you adds, or the price of some additional apps that best fit your needs.
And do not take for granted that the official support of the other brands is much better than Nokia's.... It usually is nothing different...

Oh and btw... I am not a Nokia fanboy... :) I hate them, but the fact they provided a phone with a Unix system and with somewhat decent hardware for my needs, made me buy that phone...
