The same could be said about the Touch Pro 2. Still, both devices eventually fall into the phone category. The trend we have been seeing over the last 3 years show us that smartphones are evolving into mobile computers. The N900 just got where it is from the other side. Its an internet tablet that became a phone, while, say the HD2 is a phone that can easily also be called a mobile computer.
