For the record, I have both an N900 and an iPhone3G and I use both for different purposes. No single device is 100% perfect (yet).

amen

nokia defend themselves from apple FUD intended to keep them in the clear after making a really bad design choice.

I find the guy saying the antenna design is good really funny. There is a reason why no-one ever puts an antenna exposed where hands can get at it. Basically a hand holding it greatly alters it's electrical performance, not always badly but always leading to a change that the system has to accomodate. The way apple seem to have got round this is by making them very big - compared to most other mobiles. So it is the exposed antenna that leads to them being so close you can short them. An interesting design maybe, but one that means other compromises need to be made - but putting some coating on it would have worked better
