But the conclusion still stands, the N900 and the iPhone doesnt compete in the same market. if you think the iPhone is the best phone in the world, then thats great for you, but that also probably means you're not going to enjoy the N900 for what it is.
For me, the iPhone is the worst phone I could get. It cant multi-task (without jailbreaking it and getting a panic attack each time Apple rolls out an update) which means I cant run any IM apps, and SSH'ing my servers would be a nightmare.
SERIOUSLY, stop comparing a mobile computer to the iPhone, its pathetic and useless waste of this forum's database. :/
So, enjoy your iPhone, you should probably stick to it, considering you think of it as the "king". Just dont come here and tell me that 95% of all mobile phone users out there share your love..
I only tried to say, for me the biggest improtant feature of iphone is its life, a nokia phone stays 1 year in market, n97 have a good hardware, but OS? iPhone stays in market for years, and if you have iphone2g, you can still new OS for your phone, so by time iPhone OS is getting more successful. I am only trying to say this, if nokia n900 will stay in market for 2-3 years, and after 3 year if we can install new os for our n900, yes nokia again can be leader of market,
again sory sory sory

Becouse of language problem i couldnt explain,
nokia send us a n97 for developing widget aplication, our aplication was giving a lot of errors, but in nokia 5800 no error, they have same OS, same, but in 5800 no problem, in n97 abnormal error. We see a lot of problems in n97 os, we think its software needs a lot of adjustments. You can look forum nokia about problems.
Still, Maemo != Symbian && N900 != N97...
And so I can answer you: yes... Nokia is planning to actually evolve their handsets... Bringing MMS and this kind of stuff and not limiting the way people develop for it (different from Apple where you might not even get your widg... ops, I meant app published)
If you want to develop for future nokia handsets now its the time to start learning Qt. But listen to me: iPhone is already showing its wrinkles and people will want more from their phones. People actually want to be on spotify and check their facebook profiles at the same time...
Even with the n97 you could do that but with the "king"... well, the kins is naked in this...

You should actually say that a specific Nokia device stays in market for 2 years max and then another version comes... But if you look at the E series they have maintained the same form factor and the OS gets updated... I just ran spotify from a E61i even though it was intended for a E63. Different phones, same OS...
With Maemo will be the same and better... Qt will actually bring both Symbian and Maemo on the same level of development. If it will succeed is a different matter, but the idea is great IMO.

Not to forget that the icon grid is the closest you get to a desktop on the iPhone. While Android and Maemo gives you a computer like desktop with widgets and icons which presents various information to you without you having to open an application, the iPhone just gives you alot of.. icons.. in a grid.. I got bored just looking at it for 30 seconds..

Man... The iPhone was the best device that I have ever saw in my entire life. That was soooo 2007... :P
I am totally in love with the N900... Heck I just found out that there is tracker-search on the thing... This is so hot that will be my next pick up line in the bars :P
Sure dilbert feels the same as me:

Hi guys,
I think that what yba try to say is not compare Iphone vs N900 like phone.
I think he is trying to say is that if you bought an Iphone 3 years ago you still have (if I'm not wrong) the phone on the market. You can update it and get almost the same functionalities than the Iphone 3GS. You can still get almost the same apps for the phone.
However if you have bought a N97 some months ago you are ****ed. If Nokia is planning to go for Maemo for the next high specs phones then your phone (N97) is going to be forgiven (soon or later).
I'm going to buy a couple of N900 (one for me one for my girfriend). However, I'm really worried about the fact that maybe the live of the phone will be one year and a half (just in case Nokia releases Maemo6 with the "N920" and I can't upgrade the OS).
On my opinion having to buy a new "phone" the next year to get up to date sucks. This platform should be get updated on the future... (I mean after the launch of Maemo 6)At least I hope so...

I get what you're saying. It's true, any phone can be king as long as their software is polished enough. And to this point, iphone has been very dedicated to polishing its software to be compatible across all devices. people like things that "just work" and keep working. Maemo does need time to evolve, and i agree that if nokia really wants this to dominate the iphone, they must put much more work in software development and marketing (to potential devopers) and rely less on the community (which may not always produce the quickest results).
