Yes, the N900 is the best phone still. It allows you to do almost everything, even if it's at reduced speeds, on a smaller screen. Newer pohones let you do almost nothing in comparison, but you can do it at blazingly fast speeds, on a bigger screen.

And, 5 years later, some of the hardware in the N900 is still superior to most phones: 32GB + 128GB memory, great stereo speakers, integrated FM receiver AND transmitter, IR transmitter, awesome keyboard, a resistive screen superior to any capacitive screen in precision input (minus multitouch).

After 5 frickin years. What does that tell you about Apple & Co.?
