OH.MY.GOD.
I was so looking forward to getting the N900 for cool features like this elegant way of multitasking, being able to tag and upload multiple pictures, great messaging possibilities, awesome screen resolution, TV-out, panoramic desktop & widgets, flash support......
But now that I have seen those videos about how bad the browser is.... It seems unusable!!
Sure on my iPhone there is also a delay when I scroll fast, but on the N900 there were some at least 3.3 times longer!! What a piece of crap! And ok I admit on my 3GS the mail app crashed a few times and some other apps - some even constantly - and it's a tad annoying not having the landscape keyboard in every application, and I sure miss multitasking at times or even wish it had a better camera or just a few more settings for it, I'd also love to have a decent calendar & desktop widget on it like my N79 had... - BUT PAGE SCROLL IS SMOOTH! And that's like... you know... where the game is played!

Why does reading this thread make me feel as if I'm listening to a manic-depressive?

As a geek I will definitely enjoy the phone...but for normal people this will fall waaaaaay short, especially when you can go get an iphone for 200$ that can actually scroll smoothly.

It's not a [smart]phone yet. It's just a tablet with basic phone capability added.

God forbid you view one the the other dozens of videos which show the browser performing smoothly - or read the reviews (including engadgets, a site notoriously Nokia hating) who say that the browser is the best they have ever seen. No much better to watch a couple of videos from a guy who hasnt even bothered to TRY and fix his issue, even when other people with the device have said they have NO issues like his at all.
Yep thats the way to go

If you expected that MicroB would run circles around Safari, despite the higher resolution, despite using the Firefox / Gecko engine, despite offering support for Flash, and despite Apple's years of experience on fine-tuning the browser for exactly this kind of device and user-experience, then this was an unfortunate misunderstanding. Speed is not the selling point of MicroB, capability is. The fact that it is as fast and usable as it is is the remarkable thing.
What matters is that the browser is convenient to use and gets you as close as possible to the desktop browser experience. Both Safari and MicroB have some things going for them in this regard. But this kind of analysis and direct comparison of rendering speed is ultimately pedantry, and if you truly think that this is what matters most to the average user, then I believe that you will be in for a surprise.
