I skim through these iphone vs n900 discussions and I have to laugh.
I don't think you could name two more diametrically opposed platforms or devices than these two!

The apple camp talks about jaibreaking etc to get to the flexibility that lurks in it's sexy interior.

The n900 camp talks about getting that stability and simplistic interface that seems elusive to some.

It all seems so pathetic and useless.

Both devices have compelling strong points and some really stinky bad points. As has been stated over and over.....do your research and embrace your chosen device and support the group. Positive energy is so much more useful than a pointless competition that NO ONE will win.
