chrism_scotland, it sounds like the N900 would be perfectly suited for you, and we don't say that to everyone.

Yep, they are, though as yet the front facing camera doesn't work for those services, I don't think.

I was able to open www.cnbc.com on my N900 in the same format like on my laptop. But in the past few days when I type in the url www.cnbc.com it now takes me to the mobile version and I don't like it.
How do I get the browsing back to the real cnbc.com web page??

I charge the n900 nightly. I have never seen a low battery signal - never got off the 'green'.
My experience suggests the most battery-trashing activity is phone calls!

I wouldn't go that far. I spent over an hour in total (about 3 calls) on the phone on Friday, which is unusual for me. By bedtime I was down to about 1/3 battery. Most days I don't go much below half, despite my device having to spend ages signal hunting for a data connection when I'm in work.

Thanks again folks, I'm really between this and a Google Nexus One but I think overall the N900 is a better device, especially with 32GB of memory built in, its pricier but I can probably get hold of one for around £400 which seems a good deal.
