People almost always, when they have made up their mind (even when they don't know it) go and ask questions to support their decision. Choosing who they'd ask is a part of the process. That is not bad for me, in the end we are all humans we must'nt pretend we are logical vulcans. That said, I bet the OP has asked the same question on an android forum too, and he can filter out pretty easy the fanboy answers as well as the originally enthusiastic ones. Even the enthusiastic people however can give a clue about the device. It has caused intense emotions on both sides, and that means a lot. The fonearena championship for me also means a lot. The N900 beat out much more adored (iphones) more popular (galaxy), more sold (htc's) phones. It's not at all by chance that the most difficult matchup was with the palm pre.
