you are such an iphone apologizer.

so your iphone can handle couple provisionings with mfe and n900 can handle none. so with full provisionings your iphone is as useless as n900.... so you've got plain luck.

Not convinced by the "dim in sunlight" photo - an OLED faring better than transflective? Hard to believe.
As for video, not all is rosy in the N900 camp:

iphone does the job it advertises. N900 advertised MfE. MfE for me means being able to connect to work email as with E71. Not so with N900, MfE different on this device and does not deliver. A lot of people's lifestyles these days mix work and pleasure, and N900 seems to be designed for teenagers in mind

It's not just provisioning - the mail client is way below the mark compared to the competition.
30-40s just to open the Exchange Inbox?
No IMAP IDLE?
Even my old E61 (not i) could beat that.
And if the N900 had even basic provisioning (i.e. password and remote wipe), perhaps this chap wouldn't be worrying so much about his personal data:

You've got nothing better to do now I see. Yes, it does what it advertises and nothing more unless you jailbreak it.

For you. Had you been paying attention, you'd have realized provisioning was impossible on the N900.

Not so with N900, MfE different on this device and does not deliver.
It's no different. It's completely compatible with Exchange. When the server asks what kind of provisioning it supports, it properly answers "none." Had you put two and two together before buying the N900, you'd have realized that just might be the case.

Not that I'd use my device on a corporate exchange server that required it. Nothing quite like giving your employer carte blanche to wipe your device remotely.

It can't even legitimately claim to support that much, since I could go and alter the client to lie to the server regarding it.

gruber,
still hanging around?

there must be something really exciting in this forum for you.
Your device sucks (according to you)
It's in the box (according to you)
mfe does not work for you (that sucks)
your browser crashes frequently (mine doesn't)

why do you still care? come back when mfe works for your version of exchange. - good bye

Put two and two together......hmmmmmm........and where was I supposed to read that it does not provide provisioning?

By the way: I have factory unlocked iphone, so no issues there

It absolutely astounds me that you can continue to type such a thing and yet remain completely unaware of the full implications. Of your own words.

Maybe you're using a ghostwriter?

By reading the documentation and discussion around the device before buying. If you'd rubbed some brain cells together you might have come to the conclusion that a device that gives total control of the device and its OS to the user just might not be able to claim to a server that it can wipe itself.

What did you do, buy the phone THEN find this site? Do you normally spend $600+ on devices and follow up finding out what it is capable of?

And enjoy your iPhone. It may be unlocked but you still have to jailbreak it. Of course, if you think the iPhone is in any way equal or superior to the N900, you should never have bought an N900 in the first place. Enjoy your toy because, comparatively speaking, that's what it is.
