Not as far as I am concerned and I have not even got it yet!!

Remember the N95 when that 1st came out. Shite battery life, woeful app choice, glitchy UI etc . Patience is a virtue when you are using this kind of device at this stage in its development...

N900 over Iphone / HTC? Without a doubt (yes I am biased), and thats just from my current reading and other people's experience of the iPhone. HTC (if you are refering to Android ) is a little closer to the but still leaves a lot to be desired IMO
