Bluetooth is slower than wi-fi. I'm quite sure you know that by now.

I will not use a PAN protocol to transport half a gig of data; I'd save that for something better suited, like wi-fi.

You seem very intelligent and very capable. I wish you luck on your endeavors and I'm quite sure you will get there very soon.
Take care.

i have one for testing support issues at work, but it is just a 2g
yes i have jailbroken and unlocked it and cydia, etc, but it is not optimal and it prevents itunes apps now because i dont feel like upgrading software, then finding jb and unlock for new version again. it has been a year or so but i have tested apps like siphon and funambol client, etc, but it was honestly even a little more hackish using cydia apps than using extras-devel now on n900. maybe it is much better now though.
for my needs, right now n900+e72 is best.
and yes, i am somewhat of a nokia fan. despite being profit driven like any other business, i *think* they have good philosophy toward market and consumers.
lord knows i have plenty of iphone users to admin, but for the way our network is setup at work(syncml,sip,xmpp,webdav) nothing is as plug and go for us as a nokia device.

yeah your right. but at least there is a going thread that prospective iphone buyers can use to see if it is for them or not. i wish a threat like this was out when i bought my n900. i still would have bought it though lol but at least i would have felt better about doing it. when you research the companies web sites they only tell you all the goodies. its tough to find all this kinda stuff. now people can google search till this popps up and maybe have a little more perspective n whats "best for them"these small inconveniences that may be a big deal to other people. i think this thread rocks so long as people dont get mean about it.
This thread started off with a bunch of inaccuracies due to lack of experience, research and ultimately a rather sad take on how one OS is better than the other when... neither is really true.
What is best for you might not be best for me. Want "Option 1", so be it. I'm holding out for "Option A". We have different needs. But you better believe that I will do the research to make sure which phone is worth my time as opposed to spew forth a bunch of uneducated opinions and stand behind them like they are facts.
That is what I was saying about this thread. It reads like a badly scripted fanboy thread where it's fine to hate the competition without doing your research whatsoever.
That is what I have a problem with. Don't like something? You're entitled. Don't like something based on facts that you've collected? You're entitled. Don't like something over something you might have heard to be true but didn't take the time to learn if it were 100% true or not? I'd rather err on the side of caution and collect proper data as opposed to spouting something that could be easily corrected but I've dedicated myself to a stance and thus will allow things to dwindle into petty arguments and a shouting match.
Which... this thread will invariably become like the many others before it.

Tired of seeing posts about people saying they will change to iphone, the door is wide open but donīt forget this list of simple stuff Iphone should do and it doesnīt, and N900 does:
........
I love my N900 but lets face it ... itīs not perfect, has some flaws depending on the needs of its user. Its like buying a Ferrari and say its too noisy or uncomfortable, for that kind of customer you have a Mercedes S500... but will have its flaws too, it wonīt be quick and sporty enough .... Nothing is perfect for everyone.

Nothing still beats the feeling of knocking out a message on an e71 or blackberry in portrait mode one handed on the go! Despite Steve Jobs telling us its just a mental thing to get over.

I wish I could walk into a store to get help with using my iPhone... oh..OH! I.. I guess I can!
I wish I could get accessories that work well or are made for my iPhone.. I.. guess I can.
I wish I could walk into a store and at LEAST get repairs, parts or even a replacement for my iPhone.. hey, I can!!
...and so can MOST phones except the N900.
I personally don't care for the iPhone.. but this is a silly thread. heh

I like this thread, and to me it is the equivalent of that thread about "things you should know about the N900 before buying one" or words to that effect, which listed problems with the N900. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, as an old saying goes.

Can you send data over Wi-Fi? I've been wanting to access my PC using the N900 and vice-versa to transfer files. Used to do that on my N95.
Simply put, the power of Linux enables something that I use on the iPhone and paid for, for free on the Maemo devices.

You'll get there.
It's really a dumb point to discuss and antagonize an opinion such as you're doing. You have your opinion, I have mine. It's no big secret that I'm for Flash Player 10.1 - I am an Adobe Flex developer and have recently been publishing all of my content at Flash Player 10 levels.
I personally think it's really dumb to overlook the fact that if you don't like Flash on Maemo, Microb has a disable plugin option.
