The big wow for me was that the n900 on the computing /hacking front outstrips all other phones and windows pcs then everyone starts goggling the phone but think it must be damn hard to use but then later when i need to a practicality (like browsing and other normal tasks) it again outsrips all other phones again astonishing
p.s everyone before i bought the phone my aunt looked it up and said dont buy it is way to big but after seeing it in action she forgot about that an said it looked good and started commenting on my sister satio (which is thinner than the n900) saying the phone is way too thick lol
