FYI, I was using the E65 which broke and I was comparing the N900 with N97 mini, E72 (or iPhone) less geeky devices. Even the Nokia sales tried to persuade me to get the N97 mini, but I just felt the N900 was better. I'm glad I made the choice!
thing is. i didnt mind spending 550usd thinking that it would bring me the same satisfaction like what my past Nseries handhelds gave me.
now im just sad that im stuck with this one for a long time coz it will deppreciate a lot if i sell it and i'll end up adding another $200 at the least to change handsets.

I don't need a phone to feel special. And I don't "love" my phone, I love my wife. We use the word "love" in a different and more appropriate context.
