I suppose if i had to put in words i would say the input mechanisms on the 3gs are more refined and fluid to use like one quick swipe and youve zoomed in, i found with the n900 i was "swirling" for what seemed like ages, and moving the page around was jerky and not always in sync with the input.. But tbh use both side by side and you ll get my drift. But the n900 physical keyboard is one think I do miss on the 3gs. The n900 is top notch hardware let down by its os.

People actually use Flash on the Internet stupid! Alright Flash is important despite what grand master Steve Jobs said. As of the latest version of Flash I have no problems with it. Flash isn't that bad
and people have created very cool stuff with.
Now, let's revisit what I said. I said that half of this board seems to dislike Flash. That's somewhat of a hyperbole, but a lot of folks seem to be happy without Flash as people are. And yet, it's somehow a bulletpoint since... well, let's be honest. Since the iPhone doesn't support it, now people are willing to point go their soon to be left behind N900 that can do Flash. As it stands, if that makes folks feel better, so be it.
Regardless... next time you decide to quote somebody, I truly hope that you take the time to read the entire message for full comprehension and not just the bit that you decided to have some knee jerk reaction to and display your verbal diarrhea abilities.

Also the best touch keyboard would be the HTC keyboard from htc sense.
Also the feeling of scrolling and pinching makes you feel like you are interacting with the screen in a more personal way. Typing on the iphone is supposed to be faster than 90% of hardware keyboards on mobiles.
I would personally prefer to trade a keyboard, resistive screen and inking ability on the iphone though.

I am not one of those folks. This proves my point somewhat that you did not comprehend my prior statements.
Allow me to reiterate. I am a developer. I am a Flash/Flex developer. I have coded entire projects in AS3 for enterprise deployments on 5 different continents. I enjoy Flash, Flex, AS3, and whatever platform gets Flash Player 10.1, I will invariably purchase that.
I was hoping it was Maemo 5. Doesn't seem so now.

I ain't one of them.

Don't confuse a commonly used application or plugin for a standard.

But Flash is much more than video. To concentrate on just that one aspect is cheapening what a tool Flash can be.
And people who don't include it, have their reasons. I might not agree with those reasons, but it makes sense to them.
