I've always had nokias due to ease of use and its what I'm use to, currently I'm using a n96. The reason why I want the n900, is because its fast, looks good, its different (maemo, not symbian), you can view web page just like on a computer and the many different things that can be done with it. My main concern is that it looks complicated to just "move" around the phone and different features and like you said, a lot of things are landscape, but I think i cold get use to that.
