How do you use your N900?

I have seen a lot of threads here regarding both windows mobile and android which not in any way have the same computer functionality as N900 has, so the question is, how many are actually use it as a mobile computer and how many are just using it as an dumbphone with games and apps?

Maybe i should clarify the choices a bit

4th option is if you are satisfied with a dumbphone/S60 style of interface and only use chat,im and videocall and such stuff.

3rd option is if you are satisfied with the functionality of a android/iphone interface that only can show apps and widgets and nothing more.

2nd option is if you are a iphone/android power-user, but thinks it is okay with several apps to do everything you want, within a sandbox enviroment.

1st option is if you need a real computer with the ability to surf all the folders, create, open, edit and delete stuff in the same way as you would expect on a homecomputer with a fullfledged filemanager/desktopenviroment like nautilus or explorer.

I think that your poll is not too fair. I would like to be able to tick the first 3 propositions.
How do I use my N900??
First, as a phone, not a Computer (I do not code any program or things like this) but there are few tools which help me replace my computer when i am on the go for example.
Second, as a multimedia device. I'm satisfied with the 5mp camera and the large storage (even if i only use 25GB (5GB for Apps)- it's quite enough for me) to listen music and store a lot of Photos (I'm very Photomaniac)
At last, for games. There are not a lot of good games like in Android and iOs but i'm a little bit satisfied (preenv and emulators)
But the big thing I love with it , is the ability to tweak it the way you want. For me it's one of the best smartphones I ever had, even if after almost Two years of use, it becomes to be obsolete. If nokia does not want to release another good phone like tghe N900 (N950 would be sweeeeet) I'll for sure move (And create another farewell post) to android (Galaxy Note and Nexus are very tempting) or to the iPhone 5 (I wait for the OS and the iPhone to be mature enough)
That's it.

I would say the same as Boemien. But I take the gaming thing out (it drains battery too fast to be a feature I'd like to have), and I put the mobile apps device thing in. I like to be able to use some apps but in a mobile scale. I would love to have some applications that are out there like GamePass Mobile for viewing NFL matches (which I can't have in the N900, of course. Besides, it requires Flash 10.2 ...). And some others in order to use them when I don't have my PC near.

Actually, I'd like this device to be able to do anything. But it's not possible, but gets kind of close

Oh, yes, of course: I hate Flash. It's a really annoying software, especially when on Linux or other non hyper-commercial devices (as N900).

Agreed, but for example embedded items on the BBC website rely on flash.

I used to be able to view these but now I can't, where as my friends with Android phones can. It's trivial but one reason why I am not sure if I will get an N9.

... which makes me wonder: can you record video clips with the cam while playing back another clip in the media player?

It's funny that even if you tick the last one of them, you still can't go iPhone/android

And don't tell me to jailbrake/root just to change themes because it's gonna be even more funny.
