So you're in agreement then with the others, that the N900 is competing with the iPhone. Because even though you're creating a different pedestal you're still trying to compete with them since you said you wanted to surpass them. And if they weren't competition you wouldn't even be referring to them.

The N900 has been marketed as a mobile computer/tablet first and a phone second. But in the end it's going to be in the class of smartphones. Both the iPhone and N900 have different means to the same end.
