Well you have some valid points but I'd like to remind you the screen size is meaningless with a weaker graphics chip.

N900 and iPhones (both 3GS and 4) run on basically the same GPU - PowerVR SGX 530 and 535 respectively. Original and 3G were lower spec (PowerVR MBX Lite).

It easily handles games like NFS in fullscreen with pretty nice shading. Fullscreen movie playback is also good.
