10 Ways The Nokia N800 Is Better Than Apple's iPhone

How is this an advantage?
Maybe for the same reason it was a bad idea to combine a PDA and a
phone. You can only use them for one thing at a time.
What happens when you're on the phone and someone gives you an address?
If you have separate phone and PDA, you just jot down the address in
the PDA while you listen on the phone. On a combined phone/PDA you have
to jot it on a bit of paper and enter it into the PDA afterwards.
Or maybe it's to do with Carriers, the iPhone only seems to work with
one provider, which I see as a distinct disadvantage, I'd rather have a
separate phone with the provider of my choice.
Or maybe it's about size, the mobile phone hardware must add some size
and weight to the device.
Or perhaps the ergonomics are wrong for a combined device, if the screen
is big enough for an internet tablet, the device is too big to use
comfortably as a phone. Or vice versa, make it small enough to be
comfortable as a phone and you can't fit a large enough screen in it.
I can't say whether the author is correct in saying that the Nokia
device is better for not being a phone, but I can think of a few reasons
that he might believe it to be so.
