I know BlackBerrys are the conservative, understated, business phone, but it should *really* update its looks a bit.

The iPhone 3Gs isn't even remotely in the same league as this device. The N900 has twice the onboard memory + a memory card, stereo speakers, uPnP, 5 megapixels, flash, 2nd camera, FM transmitter, MS Word reader, handwriting recognition, tactile QWERTY, Carl Zeiss.

Comparing this to an iPhone is like comparing a high end Benz to a mass-marketed Cadillac. Come on now! As for the base iPhone 3G, even my N82 runs circles around it. People keep saying 'iPhone killer' as if the iPhone has been the standard of phones. Sure, it's visually stunning, but it's hardly in the same class as the N-Series.

I love how this unit is called 'mid range'. With the option of 16gb *removable* memory, handwriting recognition, higher resolution screen, longer battery life, stereo speakers, 128mb RAM, uPnP, WiFi, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, GPS, tv-out, 2 flashes, Carl Zeiss lens, 3mp camera, video call & FM radio - if this is only 'mid range,' then the iPhone must be bargain basement, entry level.

I only know of one Mazen Letayf & he's the guy I met @ NYSC back in 96 or 97.. and when he returned after b school
