wow lots of ot bickering. I've never heard anyone complain about difficulties answering calls on nokia phones, touch or otherwise, so I'm pretty sure it will work just fine. Three things with the N900 annoy me. 1. Mms. Not because I need it, but because I've made so much fun of iphone users when they didn't have it. Awkward! 2. Usb OTA. Not because I need it but because some people could do some really cool stuff with that. 3. (and here is the big one) no JAVA!? Wtf? Not that I need it, but my wifes grandmothers phone has java! None of these things have any affect on my decision of buying the phone, because frankly, maemo makes other mobile OSs look like pong.
