That's true. But is N900 really supposed to compete with iPhone?
It's like comparing Windows and Linux and saying can Linux win.

iPhone is for the masses. N900 can be but it's not.
Nokia makes like 50 different models. Apple = just one.

I think this N900 should be more compared to HTC / Sony Xperia.

When I got the N95 8GB, it was great. Very customizable, very "computer" like.
Tons and tons of 3rd party apps available and did nearly everything I wanted.
But it wasn't something I would get for my wife or my mum etc.
I'll tell them to get an iPhone coz it's nicer and MUCH simpler.

But with this N900, it's a bit different.
Seems it's much 'nicer'. Nearly iPhone-like easy also.
Maybe finally, Nokia made something which apeal to both.
