That's the issue. What do you switch to if your N900 bites the dust / you finally would like to upgrade to today's hardware? Pre 3? N9? I would even miss those details like the notification LED...

I am really wondering

. I suppose I thought I was getting something better, and in some ways it is and for some people it probably would be an upgrade, but for someone like me its just too restrictive and you cant do anything really interesting with it.

i feel you man... well, since you got it anyway, just enjoy all the apps that are available (seemingly that's the main draw of the iphone, besides the fluid ios)...

.. don't hope for much customisation

Android phone < iPhone 4
iPhone 4 = Crazy Android phone
Jailbroken iPhone 4 > iPhone 4
Jailbroken iPhone 4 < Hacked Android phone
N900 = Hacked Android phone
Thus, N900 > Jailbroken iPhone 4

However, N900 =< Crazy Hacked Android phone
Anyone in the know about the EVO 3D having longer battery life, 2.0GHz clockspeed and new interfaces thanks to the community?

Uh, not sure I agree with the N900 < than anything part, but I can say one thing for certain:

Frankly, only thing i like about Iphone 4 and what N900 should have is a better processor and more RAM and battery. With that, I'd pick N900 over any other phone.

At first I was impressed. It is fast. The screen is responsive.

But oh god its boring. Its all so restricted and no tweaking is possible., customisation is limited to very basic stuff.

With Cydia its a decent device, but standard its not great.

I actually really really miss my N900

I could understaand go from n900 to some new Android but Iphone? :O
