Games! Actually pretty much everything is better by having the 800x480 resolution.

To add to this thread, do not think of the n900 as a phone, think of it more as a miniature computer that just happens to make phone calls as well.

It's debian in a tiny box.

iPhone has a lot of gimmicks and tricks they use to make it seem like it's smooth. Apple is good at using transitions and neat effects to cover up actual slowness in the UI.

The Beauty of the n900 is that if there isn't an app for something specific, you can use pretty much any language (unfortunately no java) to write an app for it. If you can't write an app, I'm sure someone in the community would be glad to write one, or is already working on one.

This phone actually makes me want to learn how to program, so I can write something cool for it.

With the exception of the UI itself for the iPhone, I'm just not impressed by it. And the fact that Apple has turned into bigger *** clowns than Microsoft, makes me want to never even consider buying any of their products (I used to be indifferent, now I'm annoyed after all the lawsuits)
