You can use ANY bt devices once its jailbroken, just like the N900.
Actually, perhaps more since its got a newer BT 4.0 chip [...]

They were saying the N900 is more superior because it has a physical keyboard. I was saying the virtual keyboard isn't as bad as people say it to be, its definitely better than the N900's vkb.
I do not understand what difference between a "jailbroken" and a normal iPhone when it comes to... an external bluetooth keyboard. In fact, I am not sure you want to address me here.

I was just saying to that guy that was loudly asserting that "no rational personal would ever need anything more than a detachable keyboard with another set of batteries" that his solution is much more crappy than he thinks it is. It will make you have to reach the charger much more often, both because of the additional set of batteries and because of the additional load on the iPhone itself.
So the benefit of a built-in keyboard is still there for those who want it, despite his trolling. Please note that I use a N9 myself, which has no physical keyboard.

And good point about BT 4. I think that's the first thing that has come in this entire thread where anyone found something that the iPhone can do the N900 cannot........... as long as you don't realize you can plug an off-the-shelf BT4 adaptor on the N900 via the USB port, if the need ever arose. Something you can't do on the iPhone: it has to be a special made adapter. And who is going to make iPhone-propietary hardware that only works with jailbroken iPhones?

But the line has to be drawn somewhere (otherwise, as I have argued, both devices are Turing machines and thus capable of the exact same set of features).

Unlike you, he's actually pointing things he's been able to do with his N900.

And btw, I did run iOS applications on a N900...
