useless iPhones or Android phones ? dumb USERS more like it.

i suppose the difference is... running the stock OS on the n900 (no power kernel or other tweaks needed), you can purchase and download an app from the Ovi store, no hacking/jailbreaking needed, and share your data connection via wifi.

and sure, you can jailbreak an IPhone or Android phone to make it more useful, but that may or not be frowned upon if it happens to be a corporate/company-paid cell phone.
