Does any one of you lucky people to have got your sweaty mittts on an N900 have any comments on the useability of the device for people who need spectacles.

I will need my reading glasses for browsing and stuff like that. But I'd like to know if it is possible to use any functions - the phone and SMS are obvious examples - without my glasses.

Most phones really fall down in this regard. Even when font sizes are settable, they usually don't apply to all fonts on all pages.
