If anything this is Nokias choice. They really focused on everything that it can do, and oh by the way it is a phone too! I think they believe the ability to make a phone call is commoditized. now had they shown it making calls multiple ways, Traditional, Skype, SIP.. it would be cooler and be a differentiator. Like at the end of the original n900 video had they shown the ring on a call, and then show it as a skype in etc.... thats cool, thats different.

The problem is we have been huffing n900 fumes for the past months and know too much.
