Thanks for the replies guys, you have certainly given me much better opinions than many of my friends who have all offered the same advice of "get an iphone, you can play Angry Birds on that too". *sigh*

So after looking around and playing with one in the apple store, I am still undecided but have a better idea of what I want.

@ForeverNewb. Your advice on getting the model with the most memory for my budget is deffinitely one of the things that has me caught on the fence. Should I go with the larger 3g model with more memory for my budget or smaller 4g model with the better screen? I will only be playing games after all.

@ Mentalist Traceur. I could not agree more, the iPhone would never be a replacement for the all mighty n900 but then like many other users on these boards, we feel the itch to get under the hood of our gadgets and Nokia lets us do this.

@ysss, oh wow I never knew they did that. +1 for Apple on that one.

@Laughing man, thankyou. Can I ask if there are any file transfer (or vnc) apps that could be used to transfer files from the n900 to an iDevice? I was thinking of maybe using the n900 as a seconary storage device and I don't think I could keep it for too long without tinkering, lol

Thank you again guys
