Ya, totally. The guy that told you that you'd have to be a geek to use the N900 (or something like that) isn't right at all. U don't. Of COURSE u DON'T need to learn how to code to use the phone, all its basic functions are there and u'll have no problem using it. It's just like using any other phone. The problem is, is that the phone itself is not fully developed/completed. You should do more research on this, but basically N900 uses the operating system called Maemo 5, and it's not the end-of-the-line product.

Basically, it's like saying Windows Vista is a total piece of crap, but Windows 7 is awesome. If you understand this, then it's the same thing. Windows 7 is basically the completed version of Windows Vista. But they still released Vista despite it being a total crap, that's a total different discussion from a business's standpoint but anyway, it's not a completed product.

Maemo 5 is the same, it's not crap, but it's certainly not the finished product. The finished product will be called Meego (Maemo 6). Maybe i'm wrong, apparently some people said that the final product will be Maemo 7 or something, but anyway it's a fact that Maemo 5 isn't finished, and so there're still some firmware updates that are needed to address some of the major problems of this phone. Of course, it's still very much usable, just that Nokia dropped the majority of support for this phone and will only be concentrating on Meego now.


So if you don't mind this, get it. Otherwise, don't. Iphone has much better support, even from warez forums themselves. Also, jailbreaking unlocks more potential on the iPhone, you can install tweaks to multi-task even better on the iPhone, so you can run more than 1 app of course, and definitely run 3rd party apps in multi-tasking as well. Hell, i can do this on my iPod Touch (jailbroken) and it multi-tasks better than all my other friend's iPhone, which are not jailbroken.


Anyway, most ppl are here are pros in fixing a few issues with the phone and adding new features/tweaks to it. You don't have to be like them, but it's easy to follow their instructions to apply those things to your phone.



But it's better if you list the exact features that you use your phone for, this way others can give you a better advice. Personally, i suggest you get the iPhone 4, or even an Android like the HTC Evo 4G, or Nexus One. If you're really REALLY low on budget, get a Windows Mobile like the HTC Touch Pro 2, the support for Windows Mobile is still far better than Maemo (N900).
