It was only a dummy, so no running software at all. It seemed a nice size, and the one thing I hate about slides - it kept making me want to slide it up and back down again (part of the reason I waited for the N82 rather than jumping on the N95 like everyone else).

I won't cancel my pre-order..after all if I got something else I could sell the N900 if the other one turned out well... I'll probably be patient and look at buying a new monitor in the meantime as well as looking at reviews of monitors. I saw a video someone linked to for the HTC HD2... it looks seriously impressive, but no lens cover counts me out.. as well as an unreasonable aversion on having Windows on a phone, despite never having used Windows Mobile.
