Define "better". In terms of what?HW specs? Pretty much any modern phone will beat N900 on that. Availability of "apps"? See Estel's post above and head in the direction of Android or even iPhone. Camera? Much as it hurts me to say that, go for a Lumia. You might have a hard time finding one in your price range though. Hardware keyboard? You might be stuffed here. The most recent decent phone I found that has one was Samsung SGH T839 Sidekick, and that was released in 2011. Closest to a computer in your pocket? Forget it, there's nothing else!
