Oh, but of course. I do own one of these and use it every day. And I believe, with a hint of doubt, that the Diamond2 would be almost as good to read on without changing the font size. What would the size loss on each character be, about 25%?

My favorite chat page which I use on my N810 has smaller letters than the eBook reader. And I zoom that chat page down to 80% so I can see more letters. Every day. It's even a low contrast colour scheme on that page.

I would not be able to zoom down on the Diamond2, it would be too small and unreadable. But 20% smaller is still readable for me. And the N900 will be larger than the Diamond2. It will be better than acceptable, at least for me.

It will NOT be as good as a larger tablet. It WILL be better than most cell phones on the market. Including all of Nokias.

Edit: I am talking about the LCD here.
We don't know that the N900 is the N900 we think it is. The phone part have to be acceptably good, too. If this device isn't good enough when it comes to phone stuff, I don't know who they expect to buy it. :B

Edit II: As I said, I think this is going to line up as a top of the line smartphone. If so, the price will be high. I would think a £550++ price tag here. I know the price suggestion will be flat out provocative to most NIT owner, but again. If it's not ment to be a tablet you can't expect the pricing to be set at the tablet level either. It must be compared with what it is ment to compete with. Which would be high end phones.
