Yes, but there's no need to hack a script to do something on an N900 that "just works" on my iPhone.

If not there's Tear by Bundyo. I think even running Easy Debian and one of the browsers inside of it is probably better than the N800's microB.
That's just it, I got tired of hacking my N800 to just get basic functionality the iPhone provides out of the box. I also got tired of waiting for Nokia to update things on their end, which of course they did....for the N900 instead.

Exactly. Nokia is a non-entity in the U.S. Yes, I've been to the Nokia store in Chicago. Bought a phone there years ago. People working in the store didn't know jack schitt about the products they were selling. Now, contrast that with an Apple store. They still don't know everything about all Apple products but they're more informed about what they sell than the Nokia store employees do.
