Yes the N8 has a lower reolution but really not _that_ noticable..I have both the N900 and the orange N8, and I like them both... I wouldn't want to compare the two though.. the N8 is an excellent phone while the N900 is an excellent tablet... Both do what they're suppose to do pretty well.. and the new Symbian is really a pleasure to use for the first time since S60v5
