Frankly, I would like to see a comparison with other devices like the Motorola Droid (or whatever it ends up being called). But that will probably have to wait until they both go into production.
Its both valid, both has market, but when 'every' review keeps comparing to something you not interested in or which does things you very much do not like then you're getting ill at one point from all the comparing, and it frustrates because it draws attention away from the potential of the individual (the device, N900, in this case).
