Last night, I tried using my N810 exclusively in windowed mode (which is ~3.5"). I surfed a page, did a little command line hacking, listened to some tunes, and watched a movie. I found that the reduction in screen size (and resolution) was TRIVIAL and did not in any discernible way affect my enjoyment with these tasks. Of course this is personal experience.

When you think about it, given the specs the N900 has gained much more functionality than it has had removed. We can now surf in the park, take pictures of our friends, light our way with the camera flash (flashlight app, which is sure to come), enjoy content on a big external screen, enjoy a higher performance environment, take and make calls, and to what we could do before. A reduction in screen prevents none of these possibilities.

The only potential removal of functionality is the stylus, but the jury's still out on weather the device will be capacitive or resistive.

I suspect that the community will come to understand this, and love the N900. Besides the increase in capability, the only thing that's likely changed is the device name and its descriptor.


YARR!
