Absolutely shocked no one's complaining about the touch circles.
Actually "you were praising the N900 because of a marketing video" is plain wrong. There are videos of the actual device and we are appraising the N900 based on that also.

This latest statement is a different one. Related to someone who was complaining that people were complaining about a smaller screen (3.5" instead of 4") and were appraising the N900 based on what was on the marketing video (that was showing a bigger device compared to a human hand).
People can call that deceptive, but you're right that they were focused on showing more of the UI than of the hand itself (for which we can't care less).
