That fluidity you speak of was at the top of Job's requirements. That is what dictated the lower resolution I believe. The features and abilities of the N900 were there out of the box. The UI of the iPhone was built first and additional features were built on to it as the original firmware was optimized through subsequent releases. Now the iPhone can almost do what the N900 can do but that was after 3 years of continued development. Mrojas said it earlier. What I don't necessarily agree with though is that we will have to wait for hardware to see some improvement. This is pro'ly the case with the iPhone because there is only so much you can do with the firm/software. With the N900 though I would suspect that they didn't get the GUI to 100% right out of the gate. I believe we will still see improvements in the N900's GUI so that it continues to do all that it does and become "almost" as fluid as the iPhone. Much like we saw the browser improve with the N8**'s.
