As a big Apple sceptic, and someone generally happy with Nokia, I think that based on the N900 shortcomings and the attention deficit from Nokia I'll strongly consider the next version Iphone after this.

Because it would be super expensive? don't forget that apple logo comands quite a price premium
Look at the Pre/pre plus, droid, blackeberry bold, and evo. They are flagship devices. They are the best ther respective companies offer.
It's not like Nokia hasn't done anything similar before. Look at the E series. The E71 and E63 came out around the same time. But for that form factor, the E71 was the best Nokia could put out.

I get what your saying. And its simple really why not just build the best hardware phone you can and stop splitting it between a couple different phone. I.E. best Nokia phone with a 8 mp cam than a best messaging phone than a best this and best that why not just one mega kick *** phone? How hard would that be?
I kind of like having a choice and I even keep different phones for what i am going to be doing and swap sim cards sometimes.
Nokia did recently have Design By Community series though

Wasted my time reading all these pages of comments.
[edit]
All these pages of comments [edit] about how N900 isnt as good as the Iphone 4G require some clarification. I expect this from a symbian forum but from Meemo? seriously?
Apple make one phone - just one. Thats it. Nokia makes hundreds.
Nokia has NEVER until very recently, been behind the game. Nokia's hardware and Software was a good decade ahead of motorolla, samsung and the only company close was sony Ericsson.
Those criticizing meego - seriously? grow up. This is a childish rant. Meego for mobile is not even released yet and you're sharing your useless wisdom. Meego will be very different from any apple OS. It by nature, is different.
There is no "myth" about nokia's approach to Openness. Just look up the "share your mod" thread and you will see what this bad boy Maemo (almost 9 month old device can do).
Everyone else, please contribute respectfully or just go sell your integrity and jump on the iphone wagon. We wont miss you.

User replaceable batetries are overrated.

- and rather than shutdown/reboot your phone to replace a dead battery at the end of a long day, you can just plug an external battery pack to continue to work. (or ubiquitous charger availability decreases the necessity...)
I think the way Nokia designed the N8 is the way to go. The battery isn't "user replaceable", but /is/ user replaceable with a screw driver. If you bought a new battery upon release of the N8, those batteries will probably be around $20-$40. After two years, third party options will be available for $5-$20. Of course, maybe people don't care about such things... keeping their phone for more than two years?! Ridiculous! ;P

The one thing I like about Apple is that everything just works as advertised, there is not stuff in beta or waiting for 3rd parties. For example, the front cam in the N900 was useless until a 3rd party made an app for it. Same with say the EVO and Qik. It seems like they are the only company that does not release beta software to the public, not saying Maemo or Android is bad (I love to mess around with my gadgets hence why I bought a N810 over an iPhone) but its a really big reason why so many people love the iPhone. Android is finally "out of beta" in my opinion, and look how long it took them and what rapid speed they had to develop to overtake Apple. I just don't see that commitment from Nokia...

You start off your post saying
Your post is so juvenile, it's embarassing 
Why talk like that, and on a public forum, I just don't understand..
-
Anyway.. Engadget have a nice chart comparing the new iphone against the 'smartphone elite' (Evo 4G, HD2, Pre Plus, and our very own N8), it might be interesting/might not ..

IMO it looks good. The screen is awsome and battery life seems good, if true.
But, same screen size, no real video chat, same storage capacity, only 5mp camera( I was expecting 8mp or better) no 4g.
In sumary: a deception, considering current competition and of coming devices. As other previously stated, Apple used to raise the bar, IMO they did not raised the bar enough, especially when they fall short comparing to others in some many areas.
