First of all you must think what will be your purpose in buying such expensive phones. We all know that the two phone you mentions are expensive but yes they are the best cellphone in the market. N900 makes it differ from other cellphone is the ability to record video in high resolution which the iphone 3 doesn't have. iPhone 3 has the best touch screen in the market even you compare it with Xperia of sonny ericson. Also it's applications are very useful if you are a savvy type person or techie one who wants to keeps every details and daily routine activity in your cellphones plus you can enjoy different games too, this features also available in N900 but it is limited. So take a pick.

There is only one thing that matters. If you want your phone just for multimedia, internet browsing and such things, but NO GAMES you should get n900. If you want to have the things above (without physical keyboard) get iPhone. This is pretty much everything.

I have recently researched about the Nokia N900 a few days ago and if I were to choose between the two. I won't pick any of both.
First, it will only take a few months to wait for the Apple iPhone 4 to be launched in the Philippines. Comparing iPhone 3gs 2 megapixel cam to the iPhone 4's 5mp cam plus videocall capabilities.. thats a huge difference already. And all the improvements of the Iphone.. So I suggest that you won't settle for the iPhone 3gs but rather wait for the iPhone4 instead.
Second, Nokia N900 is a huge smartphone.. huge I mean, heavy. If you are after of its sliding qwerty keyboard, there are other alternatives for that. And it only has 65k "resistive" touchscreen. I was kinda attracted to it at first because of its sleek and unique design. but comparing its specs to other Nokia phones who are yet to come and has better specs, it made me change my mind..
If and if I have to decide between your choice of either Nokia N900 or iPhone 3gs.. I suggest that you'd pick the iPhone 3gs which I think is way better than the N900 in terms of :
- design (iPhone)
- touchscreen capability (iPhone)
- innovation (iPhone)
- camera (Nokia5mp than iphone3gs 2)
Best of luck

I don't own either of the two but I think I will go for an Iphone but it's just me I hope I could have given you a more detailed review but I don't have much knowledge with regards to the technical specs of each gadget. There are sites that offers a good review for each gadget

Buy the iphone! I bought one a year ago and it makes my life so much easier. Also, you can get Apps and Music on it. So with the iphone you are never bored.

I don't know anything about either phone you mentioned, but it just depends on what you want to do with it as far as features are concerned. I think the iphone is quite popular because of the apps that you can put on it. Ir you are going to get the iphone, then I would get the newest one coming out or maybe it is out and that is iphone 4. It certainly is better than any other iphone. Now, I do have an ipod touch which is as close to an iphone as I am going to get. I can put lots of apps on it just like the iphone. If you don't want all that many features or you don't need them,then just go for a simple phone. That is all I can think of at this point to tell you. I do hope you figure out which one is best for you though, and have a very good day.

I think you should stop wondering what other people think and start asking yourself, what phone will work best for you. Weigh your options with each phones. Compare features, prices, etc. What is different about them, what is the same? The opinions you are going to get from others will always be completely bis, because you've got those who are pro-each and con-each. Most probably haven't had eaither. Look for online phone reviews. They lay out both sides of the phones. Ask if you can see a live demo of the phone in question.
