Ironically I read another article where a guy said pretty much the opposite when it came to cost pointing out that while an iPhone may be "cheaper" with a contract, the fact that you are locked in for two years with the crappiest of all carriers (recently reported by consumer reports) at a high cost data plan ends up making the iphone cost well over $2000 when all is said and done.

Secondly it's another guy who really doesn't NEED all the things an N900 is capable of so he obviously doesn't get it. I mean the fact that I have written my own webserver in perl and can host webpages off it, among other things, really shows who truly NEEDS an N900 and those who just want one without ever real;y knowing what they are holding.

This entire post written on my N900 virtual keyboard.
