btw. I recommended the N900 to two guys. One Linux lover (but not very experienced, loves it, because it is free, also uses often Windows) and a very casual end user. Both are happy.
I gave my N810 to my sister and she is happy, too. Prefers it over the iPhone (fingernails and her huge DVD database in excel).
But there are also people who wouldn't be happy with maemo and prefer iPhone, so what is your point, junooni?
People are different, and there is no "one mobile device for all".
