I lookat it as I would my laptop.......theye no t perfect and you will occsionaly get shutdowns unexpected errors (that never return). Nothing is perfect.I have my days when I wish I had a iphone or desire.....that moment soon passes when I release that they only do whats on the box..........N900 you can do what you like there is no boundries.So do your research and then decide what you want the device todo. I chose the N900 and I am not disapointed (frustrared sometimes may I add lol).
Good luck with your choice.
