At first I thought the N900 was omitted due to not shipping yet, but the Samsung H1 isn't available yet either, and the Satio seems to be available for preorder. This is downright insulting towards Nokia. What is with journalists doing their best to ignore the biggest player?
The journalist is clearly an expert:
S30-devices are faster than early computers, for God's sake. But no, the difference lies in that 200MHz between 600 and 800
Ooh, more expert insight:
You heard it here. The amount of RAM primarily affects power saving modes and video stream buffering. Also, when running out of memory, the operating system will increase caching.
600MHz in a phone is *soo* 1999.
If we had Mr. Peabody's wayback machine and looked at this forum then, I doubt there would be many posts about the new "Internet Tablet's" phone. It didn't even show up on the FCC's web site until August I believe.
It also sets the magazine up for a follow up article 4 or 5 months from now about Nokia's "come from behind, "instant" success of Maemo and the N900.

it's just a .plist edit and a reboot..
E.g. do you have to redo it if Apple upgrades their firmware? (just for curiosity's sake since I am still considering the iPhone but leaning heavily towards the n900).

@Laughing Man:
I haven't looked into this cause I don't use it as my 3GS works quite well with kirikae (task switcher + backgrounder) as is, but most preference files (as plist are) are backed up automatically even by iTunes' default backup mechanism, AFAIK.
For your use case (re: other thread) the N900 definitely is a better fit.. the iPhone though is a great entertainment device that has some productivity functions and a phone on it
