Firstly, 30 microb windows? Seriously? I don't even do that on my desktop... even when I'm like heavily watching youtube vids/ opening guitar chord sites...

flash DOES cause the browser to slow down a bit (if not a lot).. i did try disabling the flash plugin (easily done in the settings) and boy did things speed up significantly..... until I went to tennis.com and couldn't get the flash and went "OH crap... I need to turn this ***t back on!"

About N900 vs Iphone.... I can never deny the intuitiveness of the Iphone and why it has attracted many... it is VERY appealing to the eyes and that is a major thing for many users right (the transitions)? I too am very attracted to it (the screen resolution is indeed nice) and if I could, I'd have gotten the N900 AND the Iphone for VERY different reasons. In fact, I don't see why those who can afford just get the 2 and be done with it... solves all the debate..

I couldn't live without the multitasking ability of maemo. I mean, it really has been such a dream especially with shortcutd installed, half-press and tap, half-press and tap... some friends of mine going "how did you do that? I didn't see you tap the screen just then..."

Especially now with all the extra tweaks we're getting from the CSSU, the transitions are starting to get realllllly good now on the N900... in fact, it's even better now because now WE HAVE OPTIONS. we have a choice on what are the desired effects we want on our phone... and THAT is something that other phones truly do not have.
