I guess where you also see the difference is web broswing.

The N800/810 provides a nice web browsing experince because at the given resolution and screen size you can still hold the device at comfortable reading distance. And contrary to other web enabled, mobile devices like the iPhone you don't need much zooming in/out or horizontal scrolling when surfing the web.

Can sombody who got his hands on the Development Device comment on the web browsing experience? Were websites still easily readable when using the default font size / 100% zoom?
