Apple products "just work" (apart from the early ipad wifi failure)
Nokia has video calling *great* - My wife (who is not an apple fan) asked me for my opinion on the iPhone 4 (I am an Apple hater). My response. Well it is good. I would buy it right away for USD 400 (without having to get a contract). The thing that I am sure the video calling will "just work"

I told her I have video calling on my N900 too. But my guess is that it will NOT "just work" I opened her XP machine - checked that she has the latest version of skype. Called her from the N900 with video. It rang - she answered with video - nada - nothing - only audio. The reverse - she called me with video from her xp machine my computer was ringing - not my N900. Went to logg of skype from my computer - then she called me again with video transferred to voicemail. Rebooted my N900 - nothing nada - no video call no audio call. Once I tried the gtalk video call and the image quality was substandard to say the least

I am pretty sure we would have been able to get it going. but it does not "just work".

This is typical Nokia. I had the N95-8GB which I loved to bits and pieces. But the video in high res would not record properly because the mass storage was too slow (WTF!?!)

It took me almost half a day to get the map loader working

When I got my N900 one of the things I was really looking forward to was the UPNP and TV out. It took Nokia 6 months to make it work.

I love my N900* - My next phone will probably be another Nokia - perhaps the N8 or the next Meego or both - but I can understand why people buy Apple products

*The things I love:
* SIP calling
* plays almost all videos
* TV out
* now mostly works with UPNP
* full skype integration (perhaps in 6 months video will "just work")
* cool programms that go deep in to the heart of the device
