My options were iPhone 3GS, Nokia E72 or an Android 2.1 phone.

I chose the N900 since I have a need to manage several websites and bring them back to life if something dies.

N900 is just about the most portable device I could find that allows full access to everything I need.

I could not care less about the IMO time wasting apps and gizmos that are more available on other platforms.

Thus, for my specific needs, N900 won hands down. If I had no access to N900 then the E72 would be my next choice...I am really not that enthused by 'superphones' like the iPhone and Android...due to strong personal preferences, I would never consider a Microsoft OS phone.
