I’ve had the N900 for a few weeks now and I have so many different and conflicting feelings about it.  I have been a huge fan of the tablets since I first layed eyes on the N770 many years back.
PROS:
The N900 is a stupendious device

I’ve been using the Blackberry Curve 8520 on T-Mobile here in the USA on and off for a few weeks now.  I see how and why so many business people are such huge Blackberry fans.  My family and friends call me a power emailer so [...]
