Yeah mobile data costs still suck - but the technology is here to stay and prices will fall. I can't imagine a life without unlimited 3G/HSPA for web surfing, file transfers, internet radio, real time maps, podcasts, YouTube, etc. The N900 will just make it all even sweeter

Also, the lack of multi-tasking on the iPhone really starts to show up when you have access to always on high bandwidth data services - try listening to internet radio whilst using the GPS in your car on an iPhone...not possible. Or if you stop at a gas station and want to check your email or surf the net you have to shut down your GPS route mapping software and start all over again when you're ready to set off. Form over function I say!
