the problem with many of the phones that could email and im- is they didnt work well the functionality was awful;l- since iphoine came along everyone had to raise they game. as they came out with a phone that does exactly what it says- amazing to think that is a such a big deal isnt it!

the n95 had all the functions- yet none worked well.

the n900 is very close, it has the hardware-and a very nice UI and keyboard..(and open os!!!) just rushed the implementatio with the basic stuff

hopefully /fingers crissed it will be a great phone- or i will be getting a 3gs or an android , i cant wait foir ever
