Independently of what BGR is saying, I have got a chance to check N97 out yesterday. The keyboard absolutely positively definitely sucks moose balls.

I don't understand what the input method has to do with the screen quality...
Why does BGR complains about the resistive-type digitizer? Why, if many choose capacitive, that has to be the right path?

There are two parts to this question:

1. BGR complains about resistive touch screen because he is a mac nut.
2. Resistive touch screens are more precise than capacitive ones but more fragile and do not allow for real multitouch usage.

Seeing my sister's Ipod Touch I don't really think multitouch is something I can't live without, while the hard screen makes sense on a device you will probably sit on (I saw it at the university and at the train station... I almost cried...).
Still fagility is a price I gladly pay to have precision while I use my portable device: I can easily buy a hard cover, while psychologist cures to regain my sanity after selecting for the fourth time in a row the wrong line is something I can't still afford... :D

A psychologist! Of course! How come I've never got that idea... :D Much better than my current "throwing the handheld out of the window"... ;)

Just to make it clear, we at Nokia don't hate any blogger. After all, we read comments with an open mind - just like on t.m.o. It's a busy world in the web and people are entitled to their views. Maybe, we should invite BGR to test drive the Maemo 5 lead device and see what he thinks. Once I see his blog post on the Maemo 5 device I might have to change my opinion. ;-)

Probably not worth it, in this particular case. Nothing will come out of it.

We should invite him to test drive a customized version of the Maemo 5 lead device, hiding all traces of Nokia on it from both the HW and the SW. ;)

Etch an Apple logo on it, too.

Instead of inviting BGR you should allow some of the long time maemo community members to do such a review. Could answer many of our questions.
