The more I use this the more I don't understand why this is always hailed as a "geek" device. This isn't the OpenMoko Freerunner!!

All of my non-geek friends are drooling over the N900.

Granted, my dad probably wouldn't know what the do with the N900, but he'd also have the same clueless expression with an iPhone. Basically, if you can use an iPhone, you can easily use an N900 -- I've seen it with my own two eyes, so don't tell me that isn't true. Hell, even iPhone users don't have a screen devoted to headshots of their contacts that they can press to make a call. That's extremely UN-geeky.

I have Evernote, Qik, Hermes, etc downloaded and all work fine. From the iPhone world, I'd love the following apps:

* Budget software (ideally something that links with Mint.com)
* Shazam

That's pretty much it. Everything else I want, from a blogging client (MaStory) to an all-in-one sharing program (PixelPipe) exists and works great.

Soon, Sygic will release their app and mapping will be taken care of as Ovi Maps blow -- and will do so for a long time, I believe.

So, again - why the geek tag?
