That's true.

Yet, the page(s) you were looking at is(are) still there. Select one and pick up where you left off. This seems analogous to returning to the task switcher and selecting one or other open browser page on the N900.
No, in many situations it is not analogous. Say for example that you are in the middle of a chat with a Dell support person inquiring about the arrival of your girlfriend's N900. You can easily switch back and fort between your music player and the browser without interrupting the chat session! You can't do that on the iPhone.
