... Did you know that any pictures stored on, or taken with, your cellphone are considered the property of the cellphone company you go through? They have the right (if you signed their contract they do) to log on to your phone, view, upload, and keep any photo you have stored on there. With the N800... all of our photos are not on the phone, they are on memory cards.

The iPhone and N800 are not comparable and anyone that makes the distinction that they are has a very small grasp on both technologies.
Please do not compare a CELL PHONE with an Internet Tablet, 2 totally different products on completely different kinds of platforms even if they share some of the same functionality, much like a motorcyle and a car, you just can't compare the 2... they may get you to the same destination but they are not the same.

Aok, are there anything comparable to Pidgin on iPhone?Or maybe, xchat?And can I even use iPhone to connect to remote host using OpenVPN or maybe, some SSH app will be here?No?What?Developers are only allowed to write some web crap as "software"?Yep, total winner.But n800 is rather resembles PC - if some feature needed you have to install software and got it.iPhone will be just phone, not even smartphone since smart phone means ability to run not lame web crap but a decent applications written in native code so they can run fast enough to decode video for example.Web crap will never have speed enough to decode DIVX on it's own.So, on SMART phones as well as on n800 you can set up NEW player if you dislike built-in one.On iPhone you can not.You're FORCED to stick to "software that works".Without options.Kinda boring device.For example no built-in players will be ever able to compete with mplayer on n800 or TCPMP on palm\PocketPC.Built in players are supporting too few formats.They're toys, even if they're working ok.

Anyone who fails to see that the iPhone and N800 are competing for the same customer base has a very small grasp on market forces. Anyone who owns an iPhone will not buy an N800 as the feature overlap is too great; and face it, many more people are going to own an iPhone in the first month than have ever owned a Maemo device.
Cheers,
Andrew

They are two different platforms, looking for two different markets. If a host of N800 users suddenly migrate to the iPhone, this should tell the story about which is a better and more usable platform I would say.

In one paragraph you say they don't compete, and then in the next say N800 users can "migrate to the iPhone".
That means they're competing.
You may think the competition is so utterly in favour of the iPhone to be not worth discussion, but that's not what we're discussing. Your argument adds weight to the initial point that Nokia *can* learn lots from the iPhone and Apple, whether in terms of marketing, UI design or software polish.
