Are you trying to tell us that the Nokia's brand new touchscreen is somehow technically inferior to the MessagePad's screen, which is 10 (ten!) years old?

It's blooming Nokia skimping out on quality control, that's what it is! Some doofus at Nokia probably thinks "Open Source" also means "don't check if the nerds' hardware works".
Relax Karel. You appear to have jumped to reply before actually reading my post. In case others did as well, kindly note that I was brainstorming, NOT specifying known cause. That should have been readily apparent.

Karel, kindly remove chip from shoulder and read again, thanks.

As for your broad condemnation, I can personally guaran-damn-tee you that at least some parts of Nokia Quality Assurance worked EXTREMELY hard on assuring N800 quality. But I realize it's very easy to rant without having experienced the flip side of the situation.
