I'm thinkin' that at this time a 800 x 480 3.5" AMOLED display is the very best (WVGA) offered on a handheld device. That certainly would be in keeping with what I expect from NOKIA.

The proof in the pudding is always in the tasting...



When we see and use this thing in the real world, we may find that this pudding is pretty dang tasty.

Isn't it a little bit too late for n900 ?

No, I'm thinkin' some criticism may be a bit early without actually seeing or using the thing.


Pics and video of a handheld using the same display specs with a slower processor and clunkier OS...

Err, what should we be impressed about here ? The animations are not exactly smooth, the glare from the lamp is killing the display, and that guy is just so funny trying to use his fingers on a stylus interface, 3mm scrollbars/dropdowns or not

It's true that WinMo doesn't stand the comparison with Maemo.
And this Asus device has nothing to do with our NITs.

From a personal point of view, i'm not so interested in OLED displays as long as they are not reflective or transflective (outdoor, full sunlight readable).

I am not too riled up with the screen size reduction - in fact the pluses seems to outweigh this negative for me at least.

But one thing I would want is a better screen readability in sunlight - better than the N810 I have.

And need I say an affordable price-point. Not the $700 price like the N97. I don't have that much money for a new shiny toy or even an handheld computer.

How could the N900 be cheaper than the N97 ?
IIRC, the N900 will have at least a better screen ...

I must admit I'm coming around to the new screen size. I was looking at some friends' HTC mobiles with screens just smaller and just larger, and they didn't look too bad.

I know, I know - and that's my only grouse.
The N810 started much cheaper at around $450 (I bough mine for $409).
But with a phone in it, if it costs 700+ then I am out...

Considering its a new experiment by Nokia (with Maemo phones) - they can at least keep it cheap to entice more people to gt on board Maemo. Just wishing
