Also, I'd say most of the competitions have their own strengths that's been keeping them in business. So, even if i think that the N900 is better 'for me', I know that doesn't apply to.. say.. 75% of the rest of iphone users that appreciates more application selection and a device that 'just works'.. or 95% of blackberry users who are tied to their infrastructure/ecosystem.

I went for multi-tasking. I am a big multi-tasker, and in my desktop, I open a lot of applications and jump between them constantly. Right now, for example, I have Google Chat, Gmail, 4 Wikipedia pages, MSN, Media Player, OWA, a couple of download windows, and 3 forums.

So what I look in a device is something that supports it. The first thing I did in my E71 was to multi-task it to the extreme, until it hung up, so I could know its performance limit. The same I did with my N800, and it handled multi-tasking better, but eventually it froze too.

Aside that, I want to not be forced to tinker with a device in order for it to work properly. That is why I have been looking at the iPhone platform lately... however, the problem is that, what if I don't like the way something works? With Symbian, Maemo, and even Windows, I can customize a bit. With Apple, is their way or the highway.
