Thanks everyone for your input i almost fell over with LOL at some of the comets.

I am on the other side of 30 so it is potable my eyes are not as adaptable as they have been.

I could not have predicted that high DPI in the n900 screen was posable or that I would have reacted the way I did. (it is not like there are any other options like the n900 that have a bigger screen either.)

I have always held a book phone or something about 30-40cm away from my face (those romantic kissy moments have been a blur all my life.)

Web browsing is not such an issue as you can zoom. the real problem is when I RDP into my PC and I am in Windows UI 1:1 pixel ration. I have to get very close to my device and it is changing my biology. (a surprise for me.)

some of the comments on changing UI fonts are interesting and the comparison to the iPhone doing this is not truly valid as the iPhone screen is about the same size with less resolution.

All in all no need to get worked up, all problems not related to education and experience are legitimate.
