Well. the main reason for me why I wanna buy an N900 is: Mobile Freedom! I could make Skype calls on my N900 over 3G, watch Divx movies, go on flash pages and have Firefox on there. You'd have less choice, yes, but the apps available for Maemo just suit my needs better! I don't need 100000 fart apps, but maybe a TI-83 Emulator, which would be more useful to me! The iPhone is like a toy, but the N900 is a real pocketable computer. Oh well, thats just my opinion. There is no perfect smartphone for everybody! If the iPhone appeals to you more, go ahead and be happy!
