Nokia N900: Smartphone, Palmtop, Or Something Else?



Since the Nokia N900 has been announced, there have been a plethora of online reviews and articles about competing devices. I hear about devices such as the Nokia N97, Apple iPhone, Blackberry Storm2, HTC Touch Pro2, Palm Pre, and upcoming Verizon Droid/Motorola Sholes devices.

Possibly, but i think God already pre-ordered one from amazon.heaven


Chris i was deciding beetween the N900 and the N86 to upgrade my N95 but my mind is clrear after reading that... N900 it is

If its about the camera, go with the N86. If its about the features, N900 all day. Camera's a tad better anyway, and video is class leading.
