I enjoy the device 99.99% of the time but on 0.01% of times she likes to keep me on my toes. Reality is i dont mind the latter and consider it another one've life's learning curves. Imagine 100% predicable perfection how boring would that be.

Astute by name, astute by nature!
Who cares about the iPhone - a three year old, tired device which I remember was on the edge of a class action suit for being a rubbish phone when it was first launched?! Frankly, the N900 and iPhone target different segments, and for different reasons: the former is a thorough test vehicle to help Nokia understand how to embrace and work with advanced open source software, the latter a dumbed down device to continue the proliferation of a particular market approach involving flogging content.
I was delighted with the N900 when it first turned up: purchased as a device of interest but never intended to replace my 5800 and BlackBerry. Which it did after 3 days: once my SIM went in it's not come out, the RIM device is history. PR1.2 is a significant step up too. The N900 is a very powerful device and wipes the floor with everything else IMO. I don't give a stuff about how many of either sell as you can't compare them unless you are low-level industry watchers, uninformed as to the capability of either device. Sorry!
