With that in mind, there are many who desire the unique functionality of the NITs to the point that they are still the more attractive device, even having to use a separate 3G phone. To others, just the opposite.
You are dead right Tex - it depends,

and in this case it depends on what Nokia advertises the NIT as - a always on and connected internet device

now for a always connected device you need the Wifi and the 3G.

And that is exactly what I compared in function to the iPhone (not with the smooth finger scrolling, not with the frilly icons, not with the colorful icons on black background, not with the aluminium back, not with the no buttons, no keys look of the iPhone) - but purely with function as an always on connected device.

so for this basic function I did show that a iPhone works out to be a much more cheaper and effective device. (cost-effective is the operative word here).

and I am only loving the iPhone for the cost (not for style or anything else)- I am no rabid Apple fan boy, at least not as much as you are a Nokia NIT fanboy
