I can't speak for iPhone 4G, but I don't know why you think that web browsing on the Android might be any different than using any other browser, even on a laptop, for eBay, especially if they're running the same rendering engines (gecko and webkit).

If you're really that paranoid and want to test it out, why don't you take a nice walk, stroll or drive out to try one out? You have the ENORMOUS benefit of being able to walk into a store to see Apple iPhones and various Android handsets. That's more than you can say for the N900's buying experience this past (LESS THAN A) year.

MeeGo may or not not be a step forward--but I don't see how you made the leap from browser experience to MeeGo. MeeGo isn't a web browser and MeeGo isn't going to make your web browser any worse or better than anything on iPhone, Android, Blackberry or anything else, especially if they're running the same browsers. Fennec on Android looks identical to the N900 version, for instance. What's your point?
