1) The display of my N96 seems quite sensitive to scratches: did Nokia use some better material to avoid damages to a surface that surely will be much more stressed than ordinary non-touch screen phones?
5) Why did Nokia left the DVB receiver out of this jewel? It looks like the only missing hardware....

I wonder how quickly the N900 could pump data out via the usb. I know it has video out (I'm assuming low-res via the analogue 3.5mm jack -- but I could be wrong). However, if the almost-laptop-grade omap and bus are fast enough, it may be possible to sustain rates high enough for descent resolution digital video at interactive rates.
Still to have *any* video out is a great plus.
As an aside:
I must say that this device is growing on me. After seeing some new videos of the device in action, the thickness doesn't seem like a major concern, and the browser seems quite responsive. I'll still wait to get some reliable reviews, but the N900 is becoming even more tempting. I hope that many apps work in both landscape and portrait mode.
YARR!

Here's the video. It's quite amazing:

For added protection you could always get an invisible shield. Given the durability of the screen, I think this is overkill.

I suspect the N900 and other recent nokia devices would have the same coating.

Playing Bounce Evolution with the accelerometer and TV out was very very cool. Also, comparing the TV out with the X6 was like comparing Wii graphics with SNES graphics.

I only missed portrait in the PDF reader and calculator (and, only a little, the web browser). As has been pointed out numerously, third party apps can support portrait as much as they want - see Conboy, for example.

Quality is not good.
We have no way of knowing under what conditions the pics were taken. Hell we have no way of knowing if they were even taken using an n900.
I am adopting a wait and see attitude to picture quality
Someone else said: don't like it - don't click it.
The only thing I think is spam are all those comments that say that posting a link to a blog is spam.
So again. If you don't like it don't click it and stop spamming this crap please.
