aaaah, yet comes the concpericy theory buff (me )
i've resisted apple-teers and their endless arguments that always ends with that little tricky smile that says (i am as content as a cow in a field, why can't u?!)
see, one big obstical is that, apple doesn't like to give you a choice, starting with buying the iphone, u stand in line, and god forbid u are a 3rd world country, they hate you
you have to go and crack it
and then wrestle with app store and itunes
(itunes is said to be the devil's child play list program) lol

and don't get me wrong, i am so much of a gadget freak i am thinking about getting some time off work and study software developing on smartphone platforms (nice jump from my matlab and fortran 77 collage requirements loooool), so i have reserved myself a 16G 3Gs, arrives in a week (what a joke, you can pick up a nokia around a corner in Somalia and call for an air strike loool)

it looks nice, but to sum it up, it is not a nokia
and this is going to sound weird, i don't trust a phone with no menu

i'll give it a tour and i might even like it, so i'll give u the feed back when i get it

for now, even the N900 still has to live up to the N97 reputation as a part-phone, or to tackle the iPad early
