I sure hope no ones care enough about a phone to get 'religous' about it.
It's a phone - not a lifestyle choice. I can use my iPhone and be as much as a geek as the geekiest N900-owner. The only difference, to ME, is that I made a smarter choice in what phone/mobile computer I got.

As an example, a conversation that could happen:

N900-owner: Whatcha doing applefanboy?

iPhone-owner: Nothing much. Just playing Terminator Salvation on my iPhone and torrenting some stuff.

N900-owner: Games are for lamers. I use my N900 for typing in commands in the terminal. I'd show you but I couldn't fit both the N900 and the laptop in my case..and there is no wifi here for my laptop.

iPhone-owner: No problem, let me setup a MiFi with my iPhone and you can surf using that. I'll switch over to that app.

N900-owner: No wait...can I just try that game for a bit...

All in good humor
That was all the thread was missing up until now: a straw man.

You got the gist of what I was saying it seems, and yet there's still some iPhone religion in your words. That's okay, it's just meant to balance out the N900 religion on this Maemo-oriented forum... right?
