a million billion years ago before i had my nokia devices, my missus would text me.
i would pull this phone out of my pocket and try to text her back.
i couldn't see the conversation, there was no context and there were only 12 buttons.
she once got a text from me saying something along the lines of
"i am on the dialderum home in 20"
she squinted and strained and tried to work out what i'd written and it pretty much summed up my experience with SMS

now, with the n900 i can have fluent conversations typed using a format i'm used to and readable as any irc conversation.
the n900 connected us in a way no other device has.

i don't blame the guy for getting an n900 if he has one similar experience.
