On of the biggest reasons why some potential geeks didnt buy N900 was the lack of applications.
So the biggest reason to buy N900 back then was the hardware that was way ahead of all Androids and compairable with Iphone 3GS.
But if you didnt have need for a desent camera, 32gb and FM transmitter then there was no reason to buy N900, due to the unknown future for N900.
And as to day, we can see that the application explosion didnt happen for N900 as it did for Android.
N900 is still a geek phone, and it the geekphone above all. I like it!
