Good video, gave me the best sense of the N900 hardware of any video or photos I've seen. It's nice looking. It looked like it would feel good as a phone.
I also saw a couple things of interest on the unit's screen in the demo ...
There was an icon for an Evernote client. Someone on this forum has been jonesing for one. There was also an icon for an "Amazon Widget," though I'm not sure what that is.
Also, actually maybe on another video linked on that webpage, I saw that the user could zoom in on a page (with the weird spiral gesture) but that the text, as a result, ran off the screen. It makes me wonder about the lack of Fit Width to View, which I really liked (escaped when I hated it!! -- that is, except when I accidentally left it on and a webpage rendered unbearably slowly). QGil had said something a long time ago about a superior way to make sure we could read text on the little screen, even without Fit Width to View. If that technology is incorporated in the N900, it wasn't immediately apparent to that reviewer. I hope there's some trick -- like an effective font size control -- that can replace Fit Width to View, assuming FWTV isn't offered.
