In future I'll be buying devices that have been out for a year or so and been proven to be worthwhile and supported. I'm happy to pay for my apps 59p here, £1.59 there won't break the bank, I don't think it's down to the end user to make their own. Yes I can use ebay on the main browser but it's very fiddly messing about with the stylus jabbing as carefully as possible to get the right link you need etc. The iphone ebay app is perfect for my needs with no fuss.

I think the thing that may have put me off the most is the absolute silence from Nokia on all people's issues. This is from the N97 to the N900, I foolishly spent £1,000 on toys that are not up to the task they were intended for.

Again I'm not slating the device, would be nice if there was a try before you buy program available where you could have the phone for a week or two before commiting to £500. Some people say don't buy it if you don't like it, but you have to buy it to find out if you like it. There's only so much info you get get from reading reviews.
All the best to you. The N900 may not be butter smooth but it lets me do a lot of what an iPhone user will never do. Each to its own. I will NEVER use the iPhone even if it was the last phone on earth. Apple's policies are such an abomination (they now insist that apps must be coded in language they approve of - whatever next). Its a SHAME that a lot of technical astute people will go for iPhone despite these restrictions - which bode badly for the future of computing. Its tech LUST - iPhone user experience etc is in the words of Shakespeare, a Heaven that will surely lead to HELL. As for me, I have nailed my colours to the opensource mast, no turning back.
