@stefcep2,

I like your thinking!

I have a 7 year old Nokia 1100, which is as simple as you can get - and small.

It was in the drawer with an expired SIM card for three months. Just got a new SIM, but will probably never use it. :-)

I only have the mobile so that when I'm out fishing (and if I ever need to make an emergency call, or get a call from home) then I have it...

I actually use the alarm-clock function more than anything else...

As for the future, I think I'll keep this one for another 7 years!

Mike.

I too have a N900.  If you are a geek, who enjoys fiddling with things (oooo errr missus) Who basically wants a handheld computer with phone functions then N900 all the way.  Its same cpu and GPu and Iphone except you can instsall what you want on it, most of its free.  Does flash.  Plays all videos you cna chuck at it.  As Piru said full qwerty keyboard that slids out as well as as on screen virtual keyboard.
 
I love it.  Best phone and best Nokia ever.  I would say though dont get it if you just want a normal Nokia experience phone.

Samsung Tocco Lite.

Does everything I want and is rediculously easy to get to grips with.

For the future, probably one of the Bada based Samsungs such as the Wave or some other similar TouchWiz2.0 based phone.
Blessed Be,

I had a feeling we would have a few N900 users, more like mobile Computer indeed.

Some have even overclocked this beast from it's default 600 MHz, up to 1GHz!
At least you won't  go cold with this in your pocket ;)

I really enjoy programming the iPhone, I don't know what Nokia's memo Linux support libraries are like, but Apple have done a great job with iPhoneOS... Though I could just be going weird, as I reallly like Obj-C :)

I agree Iphones are nicely desgined pieces of kit.  But I am not about to bend over for Apple

Current: iPhone 3GS
Next: iPhone 4G

The only phone on the market that does what I need, and more besides.

I have an iPhone but would like to take a look at the Andriod ones sometime. The PhoneOS war reminds me so much of how the computer wars were in the 80's. Lots of competion, many differen't choices.

The cell phone stupidity in US is why I didn't get an N900-only works with T-Mobiles 3G style bandwidth.  Was with Verizon and had a BB.  It was ok, until I recently switched to AT&T and the iphone.  I'm no Apple fanboi, but jeez that phone is good.  If they would just throw a few dollars towards audio fidelity and unshackled it from the "one computer, call back to the mothership" =\...

Indeed it does,  choice is also good.

The most important question i had  when i was thinking about buying an Iphone was not battery life,  number of applications, does it have 10x optical zoom, or can it waken me up on time each morning, but something much more important..

Can it Blend?

I'm sold!

I have a Nokia N97, quite happy with it but planning on getting a Nokia N900 since the symbian OS is outdated and Maemo on the N900 is just splendid, so ill soon get a N900 and port alot of linux apps. Its just a great emulator phone.

A must for me to have is full qwerty keyboard + touchscreen and then the high end nokia phones works great for me.
