But then again, they didn't play a lot of videos on 2.2" 176x220-screens, did they? I do use my N8x0s as video players a lot, so size does matter (more than resolution actually).
It is exactly the same...

The physical dimension of some 176 x 220 resolution displays went from 2.2 to 2.0 then 1.8 inches... The same information was displayed just in and smaller and smaller area. (Back then some 240 x 320, QVGA displays were 4" or more IIRC)

The resolution or amount of information displayed on the N900 will be the same as an N800 but the display will be smaller.

BTW I am not comparing the screen size of the two devices Just trying to show the similarities in community reaction.

And Atilla, explain how the display tech is different please, I don't follow you.
