I always wanted a phone without MMS and that can only be used in landscape, because portrait is not an option.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/
And as for the layout what' s the point in a less efficient screen orientation? Even though it will be eventually added at some point considering the N900 is more like a Debian-based miniature computer where the phone is just another application there's not much use for portrait mode. Once my main phone was a Nokia 7710 and the number of times I used portrait mode came down to a total of zero point zero in over two years.

So you were saying???]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/

what is so wonderful about the N900? its user interface is clunky they went for the whole "our phones as cool as the iPhone see we cant do MMS either" line and you cant even use the device in portrait mode. I'm not trolling I believe that the UI is years ahead symbian... but thats not saying much

Yeah, I've never quite understood the idea of giving a cell phone as a gift. You can't renew somebody's contract without them being there, and as long as they're at the store with you signing paperwork then why not just let them pick out their own phone? The logistics of making this type of gift happen just don't add up.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/
Ye. Never understood giving locked phones as a gift.

Do you give other things that cost more to the receiver than giver too? Like hazardous industrial waste that costs a bundle to get rid of?]]>Dec 2nd 2009 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/
If andoid keeps going the way its going (and damm.. its going this way) I might just have to drop my iphone 3g come contract renewal time and go andoid (or droid as verizon seems to created the nickname, and engadget has continued it)...

Question though to the android users:

Is there any decent apps yet?

Yes. Granted, there currently isn't as vast of a selection as the iPhone store has, but it's growing quickly!
I own an Android phone. All of my coworkers have iPhones as their work phone. So far, application wise, we're evenly matched. There are a few applications their iPhones have, that my Android phone does not. And there are a few applications that my Android phone has that their iPhones do not.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/Dec 2nd 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-smartphones/
