187, if i did the math right.

Passion Purple, definitely.

Re: Dell Releases What n900 Should Have Been (Dell Streak)
 

Y'know, I have a real hard time seeing this as a spiritual successor to the 770/N800 line for one reason.

It's not the huge screen (40% more area, no more pixels?!); like the N900's shrink, the size doesn't really matter all that much. It's not the overall size -- which really isn't that much worse than an N800.

The one reason? No D-pad! Even the N900 has arrow keys, if in a different form. While I do love my full alpha keyboard (and would like a full 5-row + d-pad even better), I have no real problem with a touchscreen only device, if I can trade the keyboard off for something more useful. I was certainly happy enough with an N800 for a long time, even after the N810 came out. But I demand at least a d-pad -- the ability to navigate pages, etc. without obscuring the screen is of inestimable value.

As it is, I'm half-tempted to buy one just to fool with in a few months when they're cheaper, but I know it won't be my primary machine. (And I expect, by that time, there'll be something else I like better.)

When it has a pocket to keep your man card in?

Now that really is a bit disappointing. Rather takes the shine of things.

Thanks for doing the calculation.So, while the ppi is not necessarily specified it is possible to calculate it.

I didn' t know that, thanks again.

dot per inch would be resolution (dots) divided by inches. or something like that? might give different horizontal and vertical dpi.

and then there's ebay-dpi where you count subpixels (rgb) instead of pixels.

lol i think it's funny no one realy cared about dpi yesterday.. and yep 186.6 for the streak, printed media is only 300 dpi, i think it's all getting a bit carried awyay, most web pdfs are probably 90dpi - wich we used to use to assume screen res.. apple's own 30" lcd is only 100 and the n900 has the equivelent of QuadHD on a 17" screen.. is all a bit silly!

oh and for more to add to screen woes...
i don't believe there's a iPS transflective solution in manufacture, so daylight visibility will probably still be poor

Re: Dell Releases What n900 Should Have Been (Dell Streak)
 

i think you will find that before the N900 was in sales, i pointed out that the smaller screen at the same resolution ment higher dpi and that was a good thing. now that i have it, i still like the dpi but could want larger fonts :D

i like high dpis for devices held this close the face. but i like standard resolutions more. 800x480 is a good size for a cell phone.

pixelqi seemed to be high angle, high visibility in their computex demos.

Re: Dell Releases What n900 Should Have Been (Dell Streak)
 

yup definitely too big to carry around normally. How am I supposed to fit this in a jeans pocket at the bar :p sticking with my n900
