Glad you mentioned market forces. The iPhone will not compete as a direct competitor to the N800. It should be quite obvious why. Can the N800 sync with iTunes, sync contacts, calendars, notes, any syncing at all. Survey says: NO! Feature overlap? Do you mean native, built in features? Last time I looked the iPhone has many more than the N800. The N800 is a build yourself and run it platform, while the iPhone will have them built and sold for users to decide which ones to buy. For the most part this will present the average user with a more logical choice as the applications that run on the iPhone will have been tested, verified and certified as working.

They are two different platforms, looking for two different markets. If a host of N800 users suddenly migrate to the iPhone, this should tell the story about which is a better and more usable platform I would say.
