It's a cumbersome process, it's officially unsupported by Apple, it voids the warranty, it needs to be repeated every time there's a firmware update and it makes Steve Jobs sad.

I like it whenever a problem with the iPhone is mentioned, fanboys quickly go with ( if jailbroken....) as if your supposed jailbreak it.
as it was mentioned, apple doesn't support it, voids the warranty, and last but not least all the risks that could occur during the process; and then your basically...f***ed.

Oh cmon, as if the rabid N900 fanboy point of view isn't just as skewed.
It takes about a minute to jailbreak, and about 2 mouse clicks.
With blackrain, you literally click "Make it rain" and you're done.

I agree with you on how easy it is but that's not my point at all ( thanks for blackra1n again). my point is that comparisons and features shouldn't be based on a jailbroken iPhone, because of the reasons I mentioned and basically it's not official.

Being a mac user, the iPhone was the obvious choice since its integrated very well with the Mac. But it doesn't have a C compiler.

People are going nuts over Nokia's lengthy repair process for the N900, but Nokia is actually taking in broken phones and fixes them. Apple will destroy your phone ON PURPOSE.

Having to regain control of your own device every single time you update the firmware is EVIL. It's sad that you're willing to put up with it, and actually reward Apple for their behaviour. They got paid for every single iPhone they shipped, so to a large extent they don't care if you jailbreak yours.
Anyway, that's my take on it. Pretty much the only thing that will make me consider switching to an iPhone is if it gives me BJs every morning. And even Apple hasn't invented that technology yet.

Apple doesn't support it
Risks that could occur during the process
Voids the warranty
TBH, not being allowed to include jailbreaking is just awful logic.

You can add BT Keyboard and mouse. Not ideal I agree. But multitouch software keyboard is faster than n900 I bet.
Lower resolution LCD. Fail.
Never really have problems with PDF and webpages at that screen size.
Can't play xvid / wmv. Fail.
Jailbroken yxflash.
No MicroSD slot. Fail.
32GB is fine for 99% of population. I am sure the next phone out soon will be twice as big.
2. Well, myself and my friends with iPhone can notice it quite a bit.
3. Yup. But Jailbreak needed and free version has limitations. (well, can find cracked ones easy however. lol) It's no match for mplayer with keyboard shortcuts on N900 still.
4. It's not just about the amount of space. It's about the ability to remove or insert a card. Eg. Using a digital camera with the microsd card. (via sd adapter etc) Then when done, you can chuck it inside the N900, check out the photos and send them via mms or email or upload them on to the web straight away. (well, there are many other benefits to external memory card support)
I do know the plus sides to the iPhone and for some, it's a better choice. (like my wife)
Jailbroken iPhone is like my PSP with CFW.
It's good, but it's not enough. Hard to explain. =P
