Well finally a reasonable reply. My reason for this topic is because N900 should be an iphone killer. but surely at this speed, it will be more like a nokia killer, because this 'supersmartphone' market is growing extremely fast. And for sure, you cant show off a phone's power if all you can show is a little demo game (and a couple of 90's games).
the droid was advertised as such, but the n900 never...

Massive move to iPhone? wtf? The iPhone has already had it's massive move.. people have already fled every other telecom company to flock to AT&T and grab the oh-so wonderful (and completely useless) iPhone!
In fact.. if anything.. I think the Android onslaught of phones (14 or so and counting) have done more to steal users away from the iPhone than any other device. The iPhone is not "taking" people away from devices anymore.. it is the device now... every other phone is taking away people from an iPhone.
Most of the reasons people switch is because they hate AT&T. If Apple decides to stop the exclusivity with AT&T and ship the iPhone to other carries - THEN there will be another massive move to the iPhone. As it is, those that want it have it, or were already going to get it regardless what new toy is out now.
The fact that the N900 has gotten so many people is quite surprising to me.. but I attribute that to the vast majority of it's userbase is outside the US.. where the iPhone, I don't think, is quite so popular. Also, most Linux geeks (which is probably the strongest appeal to the N900), would never have bought an iPhone - we simply can't live in those restraints. Granted, jailbreaking helps, but seriously: who should *have* to jailbreak their phone?
And I don't mean to be a dick.. but I see you've been Thanked 1 time in 1 post by your stats and have a total of 45 posts. Now, I understand you seem pretty new, so peoples contributions to the community may not as easy for you to recognize since everyone you meet is "new" to you - but you seriously just pissed all over someone that has been thanked "478 times in 202" posts. Being new means that even more you should be a tad more amiable to those that have been around longer than you have.
We don't always agree here on Maemo.. but those of us that have spent a lot of time and effort trying to help this community from even back before the great and wonderful N900 "phone" was released, tend to know who each other are - and are not likely to help people that we see disrespect or be outright nasty to any one of us.
