    While nokia does replace your phone if you get a lemon, apple doesn't admit issues as dangerous as this one:
    http://www.betanews.com/article/Apple-If-an-iPhone-cracks-or-overheats-thats-your-problem/1251474518

    So really, with such a messy devide like iPhone, don't come trolling on nokia forums anymore because all you do is damage apple's reputation.

        http://symbian60.0fees.net/blog/top-news/nokia-n900-bugs-usb-connector-falls-off/ - USB connector falling off. Common problem.

        http://symbian60.0fees.net/blog/top-news/nokia-n900-bugs-usb-connector-falls-off/ Unhappy customers. Functionality out of the box? I don't think so.

        Please stop your iphone bashing on other comments sections, for your own sake, it just makes you look like an obsessive nutjob. Apple isnt perfect, like Nokia (personally, I wouldn't touch a Mac or ipad with a bargepole!)

            A company like nokia that sells 400 million units a year can be excentric, apple can't, they just don't know it yet:

Ebb phone has its own pros and cons.and there is no perfect phone out there.

                          i've read somewhere that vertu series are build from military class grade materials, hence why they're so expensive. maybe this phone could withstand a nuclear blast?

                              Do rich people really buy this phone? Thats just sad. Juyst go buy a old school nokia candybar phone from 2003 and go buy some rhinestones and call it a day.
