not for the N900 ofcourse
but i just pointed out what i would like to see in my next device.

i think n900 has just really 2 things that should have been different (256mb extra mem and rootfs flash) and the cortex a9 is just what i would like to see in a next device

currently i think it suffers from just to little memory (has to use the slow flash as swap to early) and rootfs is a very well know problem, if that was twice the size then we wouldnt have all these rootfs discussions here (optifying is still prefered then also ofcourse)

Capacitive styluses aren't as accurate though.

Switching to capacitive would only an "upgrade" for certain purposes but certainly not for something like rdesktop or any other app with small icons and text on the screen.

What they should really do is put a capacitive layer over resistive so you get the best of both technologies. Resistive input can turn off when capacitive is in use and there could be a setting to switch to one type if someone so chooses.

is it possible to repartition the 32GB storage so that it would have 25GB user memory and 7GB rootfs?? (example)

or have rootfs its own storage chip??
if yes is it possible to make an empty partition on that 32GB storage and redirekt it to rootfs....??

not interested either.. the screen and stylus is one of the things i like most about this device.. whenever i use an iphone the screen drives me mad as i generally use my nails or the stylus on the n900..

No, I wouldn't pay to downgrade my N900.

amoled yes, capacitive no. amoled as the colours are apparently richer and its easier on the battery. i could care less about resistive vs capacitve. i find the resistive screen works perfectly for me!
