If you make an comparason.. you could get the same juice but at half of the price Apple charge.
Because the phone has so many bugs they don't want the average person to buy it.
Evidently they also do not want you to have a replacement one if your usb port falls off which is why a few of us here have been waiting for a replacement for over a month.
And although Apple is the most annoying company in the whole wide world and Steve Jobs is the most annoying person in the history of mankind it cannot be argued that they have done more than any other company to change how we view phones and they are now doing the same with internet tablets. Also many people love them because they just want a device that works rather than one where you need to spend half your day on an internet forum to get your device to function the way it should have from the outset.
Hmmm who started this thread. Seems I am the one doing the rambling rather than you.
With Linux i get it cheaper with more power and pretty much no problems. I can configure it how i like.. and are not bound to any programs.
It's funny to talk with people with Apple devices.. they think that you will envy them... but they pretty soon realize they envy you

I think we should make a thread called "The Great Nokia vs Apple Debate" and just throw all these craps there.
@AlMehdi: I own Apple and Windows notebooks (currently: the latest MacBook Pro 17" and an ASUS G73JH screamer) and although I get more hardware out of the ASUS (Quad core i7, 8GB ram, 2x 500GB hdd, ATI 5870M) at slightly more than half of Apple's price, I still ponied up the money to get a macbook pro and I think it's worth it. I'm not going to go on a point by point comparison, suffice to say that you can't always quantify the value of a product by just going on its spec sheet and thru hearsay/imagining how it would work.
Yes, I still use linux (ubuntu and debian), solaris and freebsd for different things on my arsenal. The ASUS is mainly for gaming.
ps: I rarely envy people for their technofaith or their possessions.

Can you imagine a Steve Jobs-style-Nokian with a N900 and why oh why dont they tell peeps what their phones can do?

Please use a verb in clauses, instead a homophonic (due to lazy pronunciation by many people) preposition.

I have had my beautiful N900 for all of 19 hours and I love the thing. But I'm a big fan of Apple in the laptop dept. I had Windows laptop after Windows laptop and since buying my MacBook Pro in 2007, I've never looked back. But friends with the iPhone, well, I've just always looked at it and thought, nah! Where's your real qwerty, and more to the point, why isn't it a Nokia?! I've always had Nokias since 1995 with the grey and massive 101, and now I have moved into 2010 with the amazing N900. And I'm happy with it. But just because Apple have turned mobile users into sheep with the iPhone, doesn't necessarily mean all of their spawn are dumb idiots. By the way, is there REALLY an app for throwing your N900 into the air??! Why on earth...?!

If i like i could make my Ubuntu machine look like OSX.. some part does.. but i have taking it a step longer (so it looks even better).

So why buy something that cost double as much but don't give anything extra?
