So how's that "not looking back" working out for you? If I was really that persuaded it was junk, I'd sell it and get some of my money back out if it.

But I suppose one reason to hang onto it would be for the +1 effectiveness when trolling Maemo forums, by saying:

Oh, and did you really just say:

At this point in time the n900 is years behind the competition and nokia is running around like a headless chicken, and I can see parallels in Nokia and commodore in the early 90's just prior to their collapse.

Years, plural? Can you point to one phone from 2 years ago that you honestly think was the match of the N900? The iPhone 3G wasn't even out yet...

Wait, then how on earth have I been receiving my e-mail and syncing my calendar since PR1.1 was released back in January?

Did you know the new ios has 1,500 new features !!!!! now tell me what did nokia give me in my last update, not much and a few more bugs, not even the much wanted 2003 exchange sync.

I wasn't mentioning the Nokia n900. Yah I will agree the n900 has a very half baked os. Also iPhone os 4 brings nothing really new to the table mostly features already available with Android, WebOs, Blackberry Os, Maemo, Symbian, Windows Mobile, and LiMo.

I seriously could live with weeding out all fanboys. They simply don't add much to any discussion from what I've seen in any form, fashion or manner.

I think the issue here the defining "hack". I don't have to do something potentially illegal, or warranty voiding to extend the functionality of my N900. The same can not be said of the iPhone.

@Ysss: This is what I mean.

My phone syncs just fine. I use Outlook at work, and sync with PC Suite. Or do you mean syncing with some very specific qualifications.

And you just showed you have no idea what you're talking about. Clearly you can't even seem to grasp the basics of counting.

6 Apps? Really? Even in the OVI store I have more than 6 apps listing in my "downloaded" list. I count about 45 in the OVI store, excluding the "media" junk. And thousands more in the community repositories.

Clearly, you can't even count correctly. Why am I suddenly un-surprised that you like the iPhone?

Fine. I was ripped off on buying a Neo a couple years ago, so it's ok if I come rant in your living room right? No? If not, why do you think you have any right to do anything here? You don't. In case you didn't notice:

NOBODY HERE WORKS FOR NOKIA.

Look up. Do you see Nokia in the URL for this site? So you see anyone with a tag/badge here that says "Nokia Employee"? Nobody here is from Nokia, nor does anything you say here EVER get back to Nokia. You may as well go out into the middle of your street and yell about it there, you'll get the same response: Nothing.

If you want to whine about your inability to analyze such a "critical" purchase, or your lack of self control to not buy the flashy new device without doing an ounce of research, or waiting for a reviewer to show if a feature that's "key" to your life is supported, do it elsewhere. We already know you can't count... We don't need more proof of your mental facilities.
