I have N900 and 3gs

There is *no* comparison whatsoever....totally none, the 3gs wipes the floor with the n900 in *every* regard with Loads of high quality free apps.

and for all the posters on here that laud the uber "open platform", let me tell you the N900 is not an open platform, what with nokia closed binaries, and Nokias totally closed development. Until Nokia opens up, the N900 is *NOT* an open platform.

As I said in another post (although some disagree) it is software applications that drive a platform. The N900 has no killer apps (although plenty of apps that kill the phone !), now the platform is in terminal decline, *very few* developers will be inclined to develop on it, instead moving to other platforms (my money is on android), so effectively what you have is what you get.

Just look at the thread on here for PR1.2 bugs........my 3gs has never crashed once.

And before people flame me, only do so if you have used a 3gs and not just basing comments on hearsay and propaganda.

Good Luck anyway with selling it, i was reckoning if I got £250 for mine (boxed as new lightly used) I would be happy tbh

As I just edited your following post I had to look for this one.

I am not a Nokia fanboy! The N900 is for geeks who can handle it to have a development device, I know that ads from nokia are missleading but 15 minutes research gives you a hint that you should not buy it if you aren't that geek kind of person.

For iPhone fanboy'ism or more specific for iSellMySoul'ish people I have no cookies! I do understand why there is a hype around apple atm but I was held hostage before (not by apple) and this hype looks like lots of people suffering from "Stockholm Syndrom".

Loads of high quality free apps.

you can scratch down the 300k apps to a short list of high quality apps... have you done that? is it more about 1k or just some hundreds? 600+ tetris apps does count for me as high quality ********, every freaking ebook in a single app pushes the app count so do wallpapers and ringtones. We have some realy high quality apps for the N900 for now and just because some stuff is missing you guys are used to you are playing up? get yourself an apple app store certified C++ for dummies and make your n900 do what you want! (so far for open platform)

And before people flame me

3g and 3gs... and if you are looking for a flame war, please go somewhere else. Captain Obvious has left the building.

back to topic

as this thread leaves a discussion open the OP should start offers! (if that happened already I am sorry, please use the report this function to make the mods aware of and it gets closed)
