Perfect phone form to me would be generally like the N900 with a slightly larger, about a 3.7-3.8 resistive screen, but overall a little thinner and lighter.
x2. I'm new to these uberphones, but I feel the same way.

Slightly larger n900 size phone, with a resistive screen.

Why are sooooo many manufacturers coming out with capacitive screens?! What the heck? Are they much easier on the battery? Cheaper to make?

Also, is anyone else worried that on screen keyboards are gonna get better and better and eventually take over the physical slide out keyboard? I like having all these shortcuts and things on the physical keyboard on my n900. I don't see ANY upcoming attractive (specs) phones with physical keyboards...

EDIT: And while I'm being a noob here, can someone explain why comparing our 600mhz n900 processor to a 1 ghz snapback processor is a black and white issue? I always see people saying "well yea 1ghz is more but n900 has..."
