I had a similar dilemma with iPhone vs. Android and ultimately settled on iPhone. Edge sucks. I've heard the same about T-Mobile's 3G but I don't know if that is true.<br><br>If you mean Waze as the free iPhone GPS then don't expect too much just yet. I suspect it would perform a lot better on a 3Gs.<br>
<br>You can SSH <i>from</i> the iPhone w/o JB. I have not yet JB'd mine. I tried a couple times and when I was troubleshooting I read all kinds of stuff about some people having the phone freeze and all sorts of other headaches -- so I decided to not bother.<br>
<br>I *LOVE* my iPhone, btw. I have SSH, an office suite, MySQL front end. I can stream my entire audio collection plus that of my brother, wife and some friends using 'Simplify Media'. Fring covers AIM, MSN, Twitter and Skype. If I'm in WIFI range I can use Skype instead of minutes. I have a Tomtom but Waze is a nice backup. My google reader and a number of educational apps are always at my fingertips. Games, of course, but I'm not a big gamer on any platform. SugarSync, DropBox.<br>
<br>So I can't really speak to the Nokia but I can go on endlessly about the iPhone.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 11:12 AM, Kevin Dunn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:supkdunn@gmail.com">supkdunn@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I need some feedback to help my decsion, I have pros and cons about both . <br>
<br><br><br>IPHONE $199 16G<br><br>PROs: <br>Lots of apps that I could actually use , works well, has 3G on AT&T,great gps for free and a sweet gps add on for $90 . <br><br>CONs: <br>Apple locks it down tight and keeps control, No tethering without jailbreak, no ssh without jailbreak . <br>
<br><br>N900 $582.00 on Amazon <br><br>PROs:<br><br>Runs linux , endless possibilities, <br><br>CONs:<br><br>Very few apps , would have to use on Tmobile for 3G and coverage seems to suck , Probably would have to use on AT&T but would only be EDGE , new and not proven yet . <br>
<br>thanks for any thoughts , kevin <br>
