Thats simply not true. The consensus is very mixed. The N900 isnt up to my expectations, but in a funny way it is - its a Nokia remember and we have to take the rough with the smooth. The fantastic hardware and functionality with beta software on release and lack of detail/decent testing. The majority in this thread are discussing what is wrong with the N900, to dismiss it as whining is plain head in the sand stuff. The N900 is great and of all the phones out there is my pick. BUT itnneeds ironing out and in its current state couldnt compete with the iphone (on a polished OS level) and wont be a contender for the general public compared to the iphone (dont go on about openess/hardware/benefits, I obviously know this as I own an N900 ).
