I tried same type of browsing I regularly do with N8x0 but it is a pain. Even if it looks crisper it is simply too small and switching to tablet is always big relief for my eyes. Still, Diamond 2 is 3.2 inch screen and N900 is 3.5 so let's hope N900 won't be so bad (N8x0 is 4.13)
I have to emphatically agree. Between the screens on my LG Env Touch (3"), N810 (4.13") and OQO 02 (5") there is a world of difference - every fraction of an inch counts. Some sites are just unusable on the Env because the screen is too small. This is especially apparent with sites which are essentially built with interactive graphics rather than HTML. Even the OQO, which runs full Firefox on Vista Business, has problems occasionally. Sleek and small may be the mantra for smartphones but bigger is better remains the mantra for Internet tablets.
