Exactly. Honestly don't care who or what writes the music, as long as it is good, thought provoking, emotional, or just plain neat. I listen for the enjoyment of the music, not for the composer of the music.

I've always had a fond place in my heart for this little gem. My dad still has one which I believe he bought at CES way back when. BTW, it's the Data-2000 from 1983. You could program on it and he had a printer for it. Next time he offers it to me I think I'll accept it :)

To answer your questions:

1. Depending on where you are in the world, yes or no. In NZ, yes, you can use whatever network you wish

2. I didn't know Skype wasn't allowed! I have Skype on my non-jailbroken phone. I picked it up on the App Store for free. To get to your point though, no, you cannot use the other app stores around which is a serious shame

3. I play MP3s all the time. No DRM.
If it is a 3G or a 3GS at firmware 3.1.2 then yes, you can jailbreak pretty damn easily. You can just as easily put it back in jail if you like.

1) No real keyboard.
(The N900 has a pull out keyboard)

I agree with that one. I got used to the touch interface on mine but, yeah, I miss a real keyboard.

2) No support for Flash
(The N900 has Flash support)

You say no support for Flash like it's a bad thing??? :)

3) No real multitasking
(The N900 has multitasking)

If you jailbreak you have multitasking, if you don't you have multitasking of Apple-only apps. This is what depletes peoples batteries quicker than anything. Now, if Apple would use a higher quality battery with their products I think they wouldn't have an issue with officially enabling multitasking but, alas, they're too friggin cheap to do it.

4) Skype
(The N900 has Skype)

Uhm, I use Skype all the time from my iPhone. Are you talking about the original one? I've got a 3G and I regularly use Skype in Skype-to-Skype calls and Skype-to-phone calls all around the world. Then again, I'm in NZ (not that it should make any difference) and use it only on WiFi, not 3G.

So, my only question about the N900 is how much it will cost over here. The 3G I just bought cost me $979NZD. If the Nokia N95 costs $999NZD I'm hating to see that price. It looks like a very nice piece of kit but damn, I BARELY got the iPhone past my wife (I had to buy the aforementioned N95 for her) and if this thing costs what I think it will cost over here (my guess, $1700+NZD), I've got no chance.

Chances are though if you're willing to download the source, play with it, and then recompile it, you're more likely to be able to find "other ways" beyond the App Store of getting it on your phone. If you don't want to go through all of that, I say $1.99, $2.99, or more is good compensation for having a working copy which I can put on my phone. BTW, great job on the port guys!!!! I've got the trainer but WILL be buying the whole thing. You should be supported in your efforts and congratulated. Thank you!!!!

COME ON PEOPLE!!!! I feel ashamed to be a Slashdot member, even more than usual!!! :) j/k

"I know things are more expensive in the US, "

Really???

Vodafone NZ

That's just the tip of the iceberg over here. I'm sure there are more countries with higher rates but, well, I don't really feel sorry for the US if that is all that is being paid. For shits and giggles, have a look at the phone costs and plans. It's fun for the whole family. BTW, I only pick on them because I am using them at the moment, albeit, not for their data plans.
