If you have a phone in mind that you want the N900 to emulate, you will be disappointed. The N900 is the N900. It's absolutely wonderful when taken on its own terms. Nokia as a company seems to ignore its customers and does what it thinks is fun or right or appropriate. It can't be trusted as to future plans (I think), but in the N900 you don't have to trust it; it exists as is. Especially since it can be had for $350 (Amazon), it is a deal that shouldn't be passed up.
