I like some of the information piling in this thread, but ultimately I have to side with xxxts.
The iPhone can do everything that's required of a modern smartphone, the N900 can't.
Nearly all the things N900 can do, the iPhone can do as well... and usually faster and more practical.
There's bound to be things the iPhone cannot do that the N900 can, which is why I chalk it up to different audiences.
The iPhone is for the 99% where the N900 is for the 1%.
The iPhone is a much much better phone, the N900 is an computer.
I think its not even possible to debate these anymore. We'll just have to wait and see what Jolla and Android 4.2/5 offers.

We seem to have a difference of opinion of what constitutes a computer...
My iPhone "computer" can edit 1080p videos, audio, HD images, it is a very functional "computer"
My N900 "computer" can't do that. Not only with the hardware given, but also with the software. Bottom line.
They are both computers, both using the same processor type (ARM Cortex). So if you want to say, "Well one is a computer and one is not" due to the OS (BSD vs Linux kernels) - I would say that's a pretty silly notion. I don't think anyone would argue that the feats my iPhone computer are much more impressive than the feats my N900 computer can do.

@ N900: Battery low. N950: torx 4 re-used once and fine; SIM port torn apart

computer>smartphone>featurephone
N900 wins, FLAWLESS VICTORY.
Seriously, what is a smartphone anyway?
"My life fades, my vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. Most of all, I remember the man we called Max, the road warrior. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time. When the world was powered by the black fuel, and the desert sprung great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. Suddenly their machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting and a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men.
On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, waging war for a tank of juice. Good brave men were battered and smashed. Men like Max, who ruled the highways in the name of the law. Who became a lover, husband, father. And with the roar of an engine, he lost everything, his woman, his child, his world. He wandered out into the wasteland, and here he would learn, amid the dark wreckage, that the fire which burns in the heart of man, will endure. Hope survives."
When the apocalypse comes I will be fine rocking my pocket computer + diesel powered KLR650. All you bozos with your carhart hoodies and iphone 6s, well. Your ****ed.
The iphone excels at the trivial, that is all.

I don't like Apple - I don't generally like their products

What about :
- running chrooted Linux (like Easy Debian) ?
- compiling with gcc/g++ ?
