Despite the horrid display that was the Engadget show, people watch and trust them. We have to accept that people subscribe to their opinions, and they can feel how they wish.

Fact is, many people never used smartphones until the iPhone, so they expect a similar experience. We must do more to SHOW how the screen is more versatile. Maybe an art app for drawing, a better handwriting recognition app, comparing the various devices on video in cold weather or with dirty fingers (mechanic looking at photos of a part in the shop. Putting those hands on your iPhone??) We are not doing OUR job of showing the benefits properly, and the US market hasn't bought our idea because of it.

So how about taking the N900 out in public, showing it to people, and asking what THEY think about the screen? How about asking them how responsive it is? Compare the web experiences of various sites on the devices, screen resolution, camera. They need to SEE its better, not be told. The US market is nascent, and it will take much more education and exposure, no matter how good or bad the Engadget show is. I'm glad that came out. Maybe Nokia should've had a product specialist on that show, but they let this court jester talk about it with no background or in depth insight. Bad idea on Nokia's part. Couldn't they've sent texrat or someone??
