Clearly a mistake on my part opening the topic. The N900 past its prime is hated even by its most loyal developers. What surprises me is the fact, that most of you only see a handheld gaming console in the device. Probably you wanted an OpenPandora? The s*tload of farting-apps considered games on iPhone/Android does not bother you? How many actualy good games are out there? QuakeIII might be an 1999 game, it still is more "modern" than LightsaberApp #23334.
I do not want an N900/iPhone showdown, its Apples and Oranges (pun intended), but lets say you want to open and edit a spreadsheet on the go. Sure, there are documents-to-go for the iPhone... But how does OpenOffice compares to that? Or lets stay at the standard features, I *personally* think, MicroB is more comfortable and feature-rich than Safari. Or the standard Android bowser. But thats just me, you don't have to prove me wrong, that would be *your* point of view.
So my friend decided he likes the N900 better than the iPhone he had been using for years. To be honest it surprised me as well, I knew he was planning to change, just not this fast. Maybe he will be disappointed, maybe he wont, thats not for you to decide and tell him. So lets stay ontopic shall we?
