Then the N900 is clearly not for you. As for me, I hate carrying more than one device, have no use for tethering, it works fine for me as both a phone and a tablet and I'm a happy user. Different strokes for different folks. That's why there's so many choices on the market. But I don't get it - why complain here? I don't waste my time complaining in iPhone forums about why the iPhone sucks. I just don't buy one.
