I have to agree with gerbick. N900 as a phone is horrible. Since my T-mobile $30 per month unlimited internet prepaid only comes with 100 talking minutes, I added a separate ~$3.50 per month Boost prepaid for an old Motorola iDen phone. Frankly the latter gives a far superior phone experience. But I love my N900. Why? I see it as a micro computer with added limited phone features. I have attended week-long conferences carrying just the N900, without any other computer devices.
