Not me... I discovered something rather unbelievable when I bought my first smartphone (an iPhone) -- smartphones are actually boring. Sure, you can buy tons of cute little apps to run on them, or buy lots of songs to play on them, or even purchase movies to watch on them; but that's the rub. The way they are designed today, a smartphone is basically just a little TV. I felt myself turning into a couch potato just holding the thing. You could do anything you wanted with the device, so long as what you wanted to do was buy some sort of media and sit back and watch it run.

I like the N900 because it is a phone plus general purpose computer. I'm never going back to the smartphone; if no successor to this device appears, I'll just tote around a dumb phone and a laptop. I see no point in spending money on something I just don't use...
