Please people! Stay calm!

Try to change your point of view please! Someone asking for a helping hand on this should not get a fork in the butt.

For me iPhone, no matter which version, it is a good looking jail.
Hardware in terms of core, SoC and stuff is not important on this question.

If I put myself in the point of view of someone not familiar with apple and not familiar with linux the pure feature list is what makes my decision.

Keyboard or touch-keyboard?
Resistive or capacitive touchscreen?
My ogg/flac/mp3 folders or iTunes?
Normal addressbook or ringtones for each contact another?
Align manually or compass?
Standard USB or proprietary iPort?
OpenSource or Stockholm Syndrome? (both are deceases but the 1st can turn into good the 2nd can't)
Flash or not?
$400 or $600?

What applies to you?

For the records N900 could be used by my dad and he has a problem to turn his computer on or upgrade firefox (I setup his case to have only one button! Firefox just asks if it is allowed to upgrade itself now).

To apply settings and stuff even symbian or iphone gives you a hard time sometimes!

I decided between devices which meet my No1 criteria first, resistive screen, a keyboard and no microsoft inside! Capacitive screens drive me nuts anytime I use one, hardware keys work without fingerprints on the screen, microsoft... well... you know the ballmer peak?

Of course! As all stuff without iPort is hidden somewhere and I barely find a damn car-FM-radio without a freaking iPad-control built in! Not all people (not even 25%) have apple stuff but the shops look like there is no other thing out there than apple hardware.
