Oh, yes, in that case yes.
phone, sms and also:
-photo/video (which sets focus too often and w/o discretion)
-mms with photos (didn't try video)
-music + bluetooth
-gps (with necron hack (supl.google)), tracking
-calendar
-calculator
-alarms
-encryption
-on/offline maps (pure maps+osm scout) + nav with speech
-terminal
-easy link with pc (ssh/sshfs) = easy backup (rsync)
-wifi/data
-browser (some sites don't work though)
-offline dictionary/translation
+ all what I don't remember ATM

I regret:
-few cli linux tools
-more closed than N900 = harder to fiddle/hack/program
-no raw pictures
-no arrows/ctrl keys to select/move into text
-some closed parts, no guarantee I am not spied
+ all what I don't remember ATM
