How does something that is not released or available for public consumption winning an award!?
I'm surprised the Apple Tablet did not win a prize as well...

Now the terminology of course is still a mess:
- ("MOCO-SIMCOF"?
) - Or is it a Comphone perhaps? (COMpact COMputer COMmunication phone). Or 3-com :-)
- Well, for me it's probably the first real Nokia Communicator ...
- I suggest calling it a Comcom

even if one day the operating system reaches feature parity with smartphones, the device will still be hampered by the physical aspects of its UI (lack of physical buttons to perform certain operations).
the N900 is a smartphone as much as it is a kitchen radio or a video camera or a computer for word processing.
