Everybody I work with has an iPhone. This phone is pretty good. What I don't like about it is that some pretty basic things you would expect for a phone these days to do, it doesn't do right off the bat. However, these functions are already being added to [...] so they may not even be a problem by the time you're reading this review. At the moment what is kinda annoying about the phone.
* No personalized ring tones for individual contacts
* No personalized SMS tones for individual contacts
* No personalized alarm tone for different alarms - all alarms must use the same tone.
* Snooze time on clock setting are only 5min, 10min, and 15min. I want a 7min snooze time.
* Does not come with Snake game like my Nokia5165 did. I count this is as a step in the wrong direction.
That's all I can think of.

The only reason I have this phone instead of an iphone is because of what the iphone couldn't do. I wasn't going to change my habits to suit the phone. There are plenty phones out there that have adapted to do what the user wants.
What I like about it.
* I don't need itunes to do anything! you just connect via USB to your computer and transfer a folder of Mp3, M4a, WMA, etc... whatever you have onto the phone and you're done. It's sad when you're a slave to itunes. I didn't need itunes to rip, burn, or download mp3s before and I'm not gonna start now, or ever.
* Video playback! I don't have to re-encode any of my video files. It plays just about every format out there. And I don't have to resize the videos to a lower resolution. So I just got done watching Dexter season 3 on the phone without havingn to do anything more than copy it from my computer.
* I don't have to jailbreak it to do all the things it can do. If there's a new app or widget or whatever, i can just download it and install.
* As of this post, there's already an NES, GBA, and Game Boy color emulator for the N900. It's capable of playing SNES games too, but that emulator hasn't been released yet on [...]
* I can use bluetooth straight out of the box to my wireless headset (Motorola S9HD). I could not do this with iphone.
* USB mass storage mode straight out of the box.
Because of this, I can stream movies from my phone to any TV in the house over the network without having to copy files onto my computer.
* expandable microSD slot. So I currently have 48gb (32gb on board +16gb card) of storage. It will be even more when a bigger microSD card is released.
* It has a video out (PAL and NTSC) cable so I don't even need a computer to connect my phone to a TV.
* FM Transmitter!
* It syncs up easily with Outlook. Even auto added birthdays to the calendar. - it even synced the profile pictures I chose on my phone back to Outlook for each contact.
* I like the interface. After about 20 minutes with the device, I was moving around really fast and easy.
I'll update this in a few months if necessary.Get more detail about Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty.
