I prefer iphone to N900.
iPhone is handsome
iphone seems te be just a way to get the customer out of money. all functionality is restricted and must be bought. or you just cannot do that like in the case of voip.
Still no perfect device yet.
iPhone doesn’t have enough freedom. Not unlocked, can’t load any app, can’t install own SDHC memory, can’t replace the battery, non-standard connector.
N900 is still a bit raw. Limited apps at the moment (OVI needs strong commitment and development), no multitouch, no compass, no AT&T 3G freqs???
Both phones need dual SIMs and all 3G freqs in US, Europe, and Asia.
but still , i didn’t like the nokia n900 i think iphone is much much better . i mean the size the weight the price and the design which matters a lot to the costumer too.
n900 is better than iphone just by some few non-important options.
who’s with me?
