I'm so far very impressed with the N900 capability. As I've stated in tens of post of the same subject there are some annoyances and a few bugs. These are being addressed by Nokia (albeit slowly - had the phone 2 months and theres only been 1 big update which lacked a lot of what I would like to see), and devs on here (superb effort so far chaps and chapesses).

I'm not a geek or a developer that likes to get his hands dirty. However I do like the open approach. I like the fact that I can select what I want to do with it and am not restricted by performance.

I would never go with Apple as to me its like wearing brightly coloured fashion clothes. Lasts a while then the novelty wears off. I had an iTouch and numourous docks and speakers specifically for that. Just sold the lot. Too much clutter. Too basic. Not possible to customise it.

I have had N95 8gb (one of the best so far imho) and the N96 - 6 of them (all dogs) and previously all the latest Nokias and others of their time. I finished with SE C905 as I got sick of the N96 so looked forward to the N900 with some apprehension. I've not been disappointed.
