@ Resistive screen fans and apologists First of all, with the exception of the theme music, I thought the Engadget Show was pretty lousy. His 'demo' (and I use that word loosely) of the N900 was nothing short of childish. With that said, I do think his halfhearted attempt to use the touch screen is telling. I'm tired of the screen debate but I'd like to give a perspective on this topic that I don't often read about (especially in this forum)--the perspective of a first time buyer. I have never owned a smart phone before. I have been in the market waiting for the 'perfect' phone for awhile and I think the N900 is the closest to matching my idea of perfection. Still, with all the great things about this device, I am buying it in SPITE of the resistive screen--certainly not because of it. When I see people in these forums touting the 'ability' to use a stylus _in 2009_ as a good thing, I just shake my head. To me as potential new user, not having to EVER use a stylus is a much more desirable feature.
