The screen on the iPhone has a better resulution than the N900.

However it does not run Maemo 5 and that is too bad because you have to miss the great user interface and integrated full functional skype.
Also the N900 resistive screen is in advantage for web surfing and filling in forms as well as the great scetching application Mypaint.
Ok , maybe you do not need that.

Seriously in general, my view is that Apple and Google spy too much.

Questions are bing raised from government side in the Netherlands and Germany and Apple needs to explain the mechanisms used further in dept.

Wether or not it is to protect the citicens' priviacy or get a grip on the "hidden" functionality of the iPhone , all that does not fit my own privacy policy does it fit yours?
People suggest Android too... give me a break. .last week Google has been field testing remote removal of applications on user's phone.

The tollerance level for this kind of practices is way too high!

An N900 does not try to hide that it is in fact a computer. It does not harvest your user data by default.
