I think you'll find that those that love the n900 are just too busy having fun tinkering with it to post threads evangelizing the device.

It's not for everyone, I only recommend it to my friends if they have any familiarity of linux. It's truly a computer first and phone second.

That said, I do enjoy showing iPhone users my phone running more than one app at a time, or playing some random flash video. But that's due more a hatred for the iPhone/Closed Platforms than any Nokia-specific fanboyism on my part.

The iPhone is a decent piece of hardware with a solid OS, and great UI that's been crippled by suits.

The n900 is a good piece of hardware with a solid OS and decent UI that's yet to realize it's full potential, crippled (for beginner/intermediate users) by it's relatively recent release date and small install base.
