Yeah the level of fanboyism on this forum is depressing. I think the n900 looks like it will be the best smartpone for my needs when its available but on here anyone who suggests there could be *anything* wrong with it gets ripped to shreds, it's like a bloody console site :/

BTW the 'iPhone is cut down BSD' comment is rubbish. OSX isn't running a BSD kernel, nor is the iPhone, it's a Mach based kernel with a BSD compatibility layer and some BSD userland. So it has some BSD in it but it's not a BSD OS any more than a Linux kernel with BSD userland is a BSD OS.
