Everything else of similar tone and attitude that has been said before by gerbick and others
For Christ sake guys, that's just it. Buy the one that fits what you want to do, and go with it. I had an N800+E71, and dropped the whole kit for a 3GS. What did it for me was the screen (there's no beating Apple's capacitive, it is (still) from a few to a gazillion light-years ahead of any other I have ever seen or tested in terms of responsiveness and comfort in use) and the app environment (I spend money, that's true, but I honestly think it is money worth paying for the dev's time). I still have my grips with all the bad stuff listed here, even though I JB'd and most of the points raised against it are (FOR ME) moot, but the truth is my N800 is abandoned and dead, and I won't buy an N900 (when it comes to Brazil, which it hasn't, believe it or not) because even if it is far superior to the N800 in any thinkable aspect, it still hasn't been able to surpass the iPhone in the two aspects I mentioned.

But once again, that's FOR ME.

So why don't we all buy the device that does the trick FOR US? And let go of all the bashing? Sounds kinda lame.
