Its been said you can never go wrong appealing to the lowest common denominator. Engadget is most definitely following those words to a fault. Appealing to the drones is fine - just don't try and pass it off as tech news rather than opinion.

Dunno what is wrong with them but they keep on bashing both Nokia and the N900 for apparent no reason.

ive long been a lover of engadget but they are really doing my head in lately bashing the n900! I think nokia needs to send them a few so they can see how much better than stupid iphone they are.
looking at my mates iphone browser and menus now it feels so claustrophobic! peering at the world through a pin hole at that resolution, and thats just the start

And also, I dunno if Nokia is still sponsoring those guys but if so STOP.

Fanbois? Oh boy, this labeling of people, I took it for myself since I started the thread ;-), is unnecessary and, IMO, kinda childish... Is this some US personality thing that everyone needs to be labeled as something? I do not see this kind of behaviour, either you are replubican-or-democrat-labeling, in other countries...
And as you said before, "whinning doesnt become community", so maybe leaving the "fanbois" alone to discuss their conspiracy theories would do less harm right?

Hardware wise as well the iPhone is unmatched by anyone, and they like that kind of stuff.
Name one, just one thing hardware wise where iPhone is better than N900. List of N900 hardware advantages over the iPhone would be quite lenghty, to name just a few:
- 5mpix camera w/ dual led flash and Carl Zeiss optics
- IR port
- Full BT support
- Precise touchscreen w/ 800x480 resolution
- Stereo speakers
- TV out
- FM Transmitter
etc.
And other hardware features are on par with the iPhone. So, where does the iPhone shine hardware wise?

It takes more energy to defend... Consider where this commuity is better to spend its skills and intellectual resources.

Etc:
- "big resolution"
- the same cpu (underclocked @ 50%)
- the imaginary micro usb port and it's usable storage through itunes only
- HSDPA (@ 1/2 speed)
- the excellent antenna (that let's you GSM-naked in the middle of the city)
- the IR
- the imaginary Micro-SD slot
- the imaginary radio + FM transmitter
- the reat 2mp camera with zoom via a 3rd party app
- removable battery if you have a hammer to crack the case
Boy, can this list go on
Someone actually made a huge list on Amazon to bad I can't find the link

But thanks for the "irritating" comment. Too bad I don't count you as irritating. You're able to think whatever, feel free.
