Not really comparison size as I didn't get a fair angle.
Quite interesting that in all the Cardiff retail stores, no one knew of the N900. A couple of Vodafone guys said Vod unsure about N900 because it's a mobile OS that's based on Linux. They said that whilst caressing a HTC Magic. (Same thing with Phones4U chaps - they were uneasy about a phone that has the scary Linux)

Another Voda guy said not til December...2010...and then proceeded to show me GSM arena as the source page. He was a bit stunned to see a N900 as apparently he'd been reading about it.

Carphone Warehouse peeps are the most clueless people out of the bunch. They said they've never heard of a N900. He was like "That's not a N900, That's a N97".

This lack of knowledge of upcoming phones is understandable - though these guys work in phone shops, they're really there just to sell tariffs and handsets - not so much to be "in the know". I remember before being told to avoid a phone with bluetooth because the data charges are expensive.

Lastly, though you maybe sick of it - here's some unboxing photos and video to push you over the edge.
