sorry how is this a ripoff?

Are all phones with a touch screen a ripoff?

Uh... duh... did you even watch the functions and how the phone operates?

The I-phone doesn't do flash, though. Until they get that worked out, I-phone will be at a disadvantage to the new crop of competitors.

Didn't watch the video but it has a pull out keyboard, plays flash, 5 mp camera with dual flash, linux, FM transmitter, higher screen resolution, is considerably fatter, memory card slot.

Other than the increase in size seems like an improvement not a ripoff

I just happened to hear about this phone elsewhere for the first time yesterday. Does anybody know if you will be able to use it in Korea? If so, I think this will be the next phone for me. It is built on linux and is completely open source, I think. That is a major selling point for me (and many others, I would think). From the previews, it looks pretty sweet.

I have an iPhone right now (that I can't use as a phone in Korea) and I think the N900 looks considerably better. I love my iPhone, too...I'm not a hater.

Should be. I'm not a fan of the circular finger movements to zoom, but they had to do SOMETHING different.

OS. Look at it and tell me what you think.

Looks damn slick.
But, you guys have to know this already, IF it comes to Korea, the functionality will be severely nerfed.

Since I have heard that you can get an iPhone "certified" to use in Korea, would it be possible to do the same thing with the Nokia N900? I would really like this phone. Right now you can buy it unlocked for $479 from Amazon.com.

Well, it seems like nobody knows the answer to this question. I guess I will wait for about a year and get whatever version of the iPhone is available then.
