You can add BT Keyboard and mouse. Not ideal I agree. But multitouch software keyboard is faster than n900 I bet.

Lower resolution LCD. Fail.
Never really have problems with PDF and webpages at that screen size.

Can't play xvid / wmv. Fail.
Jailbroken yxflash.

No MicroSD slot. Fail.
32GB is fine for 99% of population. I am sure the next phone out soon will be twice as big.
1. Umm. No. You know that's not a valid argument with all the benefits built-in hardware keyboard gives.

2. Well, myself and my friends with iPhone can notice it quite a bit.

3. Yup. But Jailbreak needed and free version has limitations. (well, can find cracked ones easy however. lol) It's no match for mplayer with keyboard shortcuts on N900 still.

4. It's not just about the amount of space. It's about the ability to remove or insert a card. Eg. Using a digital camera with the microsd card. (via sd adapter etc) Then when done, you can chuck it inside the N900, check out the photos and send them via mms or email or upload them on to the web straight away. (well, there are many other benefits to external memory card support)

I do know the plus sides to the iPhone and for some, it's a better choice. (like my wife)

Jailbroken iPhone is like my PSP with CFW.
It's good, but it's not enough. Hard to explain. =P
