If they market the thing in the same segment as N97, androids and iphone, then they better measure up to the same standards as the others. If they want to make use of the Internet Tablet excus^H^H^Hplanation, then by all means make sure that N900 is always clearly mentioned in its own market segment. Not go back and forth between 'internet tablet' and 'smartphone' whenever convenient (ie: marketshare calculation and whatnot).

Android, iPhone and Maemo all evolved from *nix roots in one way or another. Own up to the choices made.
I agree with you.> I'm tired of the "it's a mobile computer so it doesn't need xyz". It's a phone, let it go. People expect certain basic features from hand held devices and portrait mode is one of them.
