I just got a new iphone 4 and let go (hardly) of my beloved n900, i loved everything about n900 the apps, the community, the games and specially the wep cracking
and i found some interesting features in iphone 4 like many highly graphical supported games and apps.
BUT to be honest here is some points that i regret giving away my n900 :

- iphone can't read every file formats like n900 (in n900 you can drop any file format and open it)
- everything is done via itunes, if im away from home and i want to put something into my iphone i have to install the 130 MB itunes, n900 i could just plug it in and you're done
- i don't know if you gonna believe it or not but the headphones sound in n900 is way much better than the iphone, in the iphone its like there is something wrong here but music with n900 is magical
- i feel like im monitored and chained and smotherd by itunes !

but the main cause i let go of my n900 was its size it was a brick in my jeans difficult to walk normally, run, roundhouseing =P
i gave it to my brother who is stunned by it, he fell for it and i can see him always using it like i used to
so farewell helpful and friendly community

- and yeah there are some wise-behinds that will show up here soon i already know them :-P

why you say n900 is a brick??

the nokia 9500 that I still use daily , yes, it is a brick.

and that type of threads are boring...

regards

The only reason I suspect people who leave start new threads is because

A) They know they are giving up something that was truly great
B) They know the community will miss them in some way (ok not everyone)
C) They want to get attention for little or no reason

I cant imagine a large number of posts from people saying they are leaving iphone or android. Sure N900 has a much smaller owner group but this little beast earned respect and i imagine the person disowning the device needs closure :P

Since my mother got her iphone 4 I have been a bit amazed how well it actually works. Everything works flawless and the application support for it is super-big. BUT, as AgogData says it's completely dependent on iTunes which is (at least on windows) a resource-hogging mammoth.
The thing that I envy most is the official client for spotify, especially the offline-support. Qspot for the N900 is kickass in many ways, but the offline-feature is something I really miss.
My opinion is that the N900 and iPhone rocks in different ways!

Respect, I wouldn't be able to go for a feature phone after owning N95 and N900.

Enjoy your iPhone and all the best luck in the future.

No not really, i used to have a real brick in the late 80s, an ericsson NMT hotline "pocketphone" not only was it large as a brick, it was also partially redcoloured as a brick.

I think this should be a great alternative to the brick reason without leaving the community?

but I for me I would prefer the brick disadvantage over that.

Good luck. As with most OSes, iOS keeps getting better and better. The dependency on a PC running iTunes ends this fall with iOS 5.

nice trade down.
