The N900 is a bit bulky if you're really only going to use it for limited surfing and music. I would go with the Sony Satio (Symbian s60). It costs about the same and you get a 12mp camera, vs the 5mp on the N900. The games for the n900 suck, too. It will take time. If you want a phone that wont take time to build then get something that has an OS that has been around for awhile (or has a larger following).
I love my N900, but it's a device that is geared towards a certain audiance. I am not sure you're it.
Here is the Satio. It's cheaper since it's open-box (might find cheaper via google).

with ovi maps - i can download maps and i wont have to use internet connection? cuz that stuff is not cheap, i mean here it is about 1$ per 1 MB, if i'm not paying monthly fees for the internet.
They are working on fixing it so the n900 can use the gps with out a-gps. But when they have this fixed.. i don't know. And i have no clue how much data the a-gps downloads but as far as i can tell, its little to nothing.

As a generalization, I think that the importance of phones in general, and tablets, is overrated and partly the result of hype. I think that most people would be well served by a primitive phone that would maybe text and make phone calls and do nothing else. Anyone who doesn't usually have a pretty good idea where they are going before they leave the house is pretty clueless. I don't particularly see the point of playing games on phones.
So, for most people I think an expensive phone of any kind is a waste of money. I should be getting my N900 soon and we'll see if my opinion changes...

The N900 is not big for all the other aditional features the N900 provides. I love the N900. I really do.

i dont care about the size, i know (well, i hope) that the apps will come with time.
