This is the funniest thread on t.m.o. at the moment.
Apart from that:
I used to have tablets. All of them. The 770, the N800, the N810. People said it wasn't cool they needed a phone and carry two devices. (I for my part thought that this was exactly what was cool about them, btw. That you needn't have them with you all the time.)
Now there's the N900 and people tell me it's cool that I don't need to carry two devices anymore, because the N900 is all in one. So while I don't care at all if it
is
a phone or not, I do expect it to
replace
my phone. That's the expectation. And as things are, it fails doing so. It fails miserably.
Now I still carry 2 devices with me, a real phone and my N900. The only difference is I can't tether the N900 to my phone any longer, so I need a second SIM card. Costs me €7 extra a month.
Bottom line:
It's meant to replace your current phone as the single device you carry with you. So it better be a good phone... or be a good whatever as long as it does everything the phone it replaces does.
