Let's get a cost/benefit thing here via the actual $ per month for services used- 7-Eleven may rock with this.

I detest phone companies and contract plans- I just want to pay for phone minutes used and data used. Phone company plans suck and restrict you. Apple's IPhone concept sucks in relation to lockin with phone companies/sucks you dry/and restricts you/and their IPhone isn't a data swapping and data friendly computer. The N900 looks to be the answer- portable computer and phone/when I can't get the net and Skype for free over open WiFi.

Opinions please- and no, I don't want tto kill phone companies- just pay the minimum for wireless when I absolutely must use wireless and WiFi isn't available for Skype/downloading data/and position location via a built in GPS.

This is being sent over WiFi from my N800 by the way- a terrific machine except with no wireless phone and no built in GPS-
