Hasn't Nokia spent the last 9mos trying to convince us...and kinda failing...that the N97 was the sweet new hotness that was going to kick the iPhone's ass? Well apparently they were just kidding, because now they're trotting out a new top filly in the smartphone derby called the N900. I must say the stats (below) look compelling on paper and it sure is perty...but the same can be said for the N97, which is a cool handset, but no iPhone killer. Nokia needs to realize that they can throw all the technology and features at a device that their Finnish engineering minds can conjure, but until they make the content acquisition process slick, simple and innate to that device they'll continue to lose the mindshare of mobile content influence leaders to "that fruit company from Cupertino." Oh, and by the way, if it retails for $700 because no carrier will support/subsidize it, the entire US customer base for this device is reading this blog.
