my 2 cents.
The N900 has no equal. Some phones/devices have good aps that work quicker or look slicker but you don't always get the real deal when it comes to the web. My wife has an iTouch which is great for her. Apps for utube, qvc, etc work amazingly well, but they don't give you the full web experience. My son has a Droid which has similar specs as the N900. It has apps like the iTouch and a good browser. I was actually going to get the Droid before I found this.
Everything people are saying is true from their perspective, so what is yours? If you can answer yes to the following questions then this may be for you.
1. Do you know what dos is, or done any programming?
2. Do you understand how compuer hardware works?
3. Do you know how networks, operating systems, and software work & interact?
4. Do you like to tinker with and tweak your computer?

If not, go buy an android or webos phone and not an internet tablet.
