I'm not happy with this Maemo Phone if it does not have multi-touch OR D-Pad OR Track-Ball.

Does anybody know if it has Multi-Touch because D-Pad seems to be out and no Track-ball? Also is this capacitive (I assume only the capacitive display can have multi-touch, correct me if I'm wrong).

If the device is capacitive with multi-touch then the lack of D-pad is ok, because the device can be controlled for directions from touching and multi - simultaneous touch on the screen. Still, a track-ball like G1 was good (and it does not need so much space like the D-pad).

Nokia should have a 5" to 7" tablet based on Maemo ASAP (Apple is preparing a 7" iPad) for a big segment of customers who want an Internet Tablet device in between the laptop and a smartphone as size. With a large 5"-7" screen, students and many people who use it badly for editing documents, video-editing, programming and even watching a video or TV (you know all protable DVD players have >7" screen size).
