Mil, I don't think too many people are arguing the contrasts. It's the silly comparisons here that are arguable. The laughable "both products are virtually identical and occuply the exact same market segment" claims. The "Apple's products will stop production of N800s" remarks.

I read every comment in the other forum and for the most part they were well thought-out. A few small technical errors made by some, quickly corrected, and (here's the shocking part) no real nastiness or chest-thumping. Amazing.

Oh, and I've come to understand that the promotional activity (or lack thereof) around the N800 is deliberate. Before anyone leaps to labeling that as stupid (as I have previously), there's also some sound reasoning behind it. But that's because they're different products with different goals.
