I'm just tired of people using the excuse "You should have known you were buying a computer that just happened to have a phone argument" when people are dissappointed with the n900.

People buy the n900 as a phone because it has more phone features than features that make it a "tablet."

I agree. I think "mobile phone" and "mobile computer" are synonyms at this point.

I think most people who buy a mobile phone probably expect to use their phone like a computer. And look at most of the commercials on TV, they advertise the apps, email, IM, facebook, twitter, streaming music, watching TV, web browsing, etc. (at least in the USA)

Also, I think the N95 was marketed by Nokia something like "It's what computers have become". I don't remember people saying "N95 is not a phone, it just happens to be a computer that is able to make calls..."
