    Anonymous, 02 Nov 2009Sorry, I didn't say why N900 is better. Here is a list of a... moreNever knew any almighty brand's phones have better quality than Moto phones on "comparable" models.

    Look at the quality of N76 vs. V3....

    And you're judging based on the fact you have never owned Milestone...or even N900, for that matter. Interesting.

    BTW, N900 can't even support MMS, right? And how about the price? Twice that of Milestone?

        why on earth is the D-pad on the right hand side of the phone???
        when its on the left on the other moto phone as well as nokias etc...

        doesnt make much sense to me, besides its not very erginomical...

          Sorry, I didn't say why N900 is better. Here is a list of advantages of the N900:

          Stereo speakers
          Kick stand
          Camera cover
          Better quality lens
          Not as long or wide
          More keyboard travel
          Stylus
          FM transmitter and receiver
          Integrated 32GB
          TV-out
          IR-port
          Front facing camera
          Resistive touchscreen
          SIM card slot
          No need for underclocking

          And don't forget the most important thing of them all: better overall quality (including build, speakers, camera etc.).

                              The Droid has that Meamo-ish/Symbian-ish feel to it

                                    It looks nice, but is there any restriction on phone use, i mean manipulating with files like we symbian60 do just like doing on computer.
                                    Transferring files to other devices via BT or Wi-fi.
                                    Using the device as wireless modem.
                                    Is it dependent this droid system on computer for updating or installing things on it, i mean the the Symbian60 its possible to update wirellessly and download and install anything you want in it, without need to connect to computer for any synchronization.

                                        Nice phone and specs, it will be very nice to see it acorss Europe as soon as possible, well done Motorola.
