At the same smallish screen size, it does compare to 800x480 in my eyes. I do not really care if letters in the book I am reading consist of more pixels, as long as they are smooth and readable.

You have just said that it has the same screen size (diagonally), just more pixels. So I am not even sure why anyone would buy that HTC phone.
5800 display is also "very popular", but nobody buys the display alone. If you look at these devices as a whole though, 5800 is a pretty nice, usable, cheap phone with a slim high-def screen. The screen is on the smallish side but it isn't too small for a phone.
Sorry but I fail to see why 800x480 is such a big thing on a 3.2" screen. You do not see all these pixels anyway.

3.2" is not a big screen. It basically renders the benefits of 800x480 resolution useless.

I just read somewhere that analysts reckon they'll have shifted 1 million devices by the end of this year. No idea how that compares mind you.
/me wonders if the cases will be largely the same (not having paid much attention earlier), or do the leaked case dimensions differ too much?

Because the higher resolution screen would have smoother and more readable letters at the same size, or smaller and more letters at the same pixel count. Win, win.
No, for a phone it has a huge screen. Huge. But with low resolution, which means grainer than your tablet.

Theoretically, yes, but not in practice. First of all, you can't make letters smaller because they become unreradable, even if all pixels are in place. Secondly, when you make letters large enough to be readable by normal humans from a standard 30-50cm distance, they look pretty smooth in both 800x480 and 640x360 resolutions. Try it for yourself.

i love the influx of people with the doublethink line that a smaller screen is better in all possible ways.
as someone else said, one of the big marketed pluses of the NITs was the nice big screen...

The N series is Nokias line of smartphones. The N770-810 should never have been Ns. They should have been Ts or something. The N900 is a N. It's a phone.
These pages are based on the device being WVGA (800 x 480). I would hate to have to go through and resize each one every time the OS is updated.
What bugs me is not just abandoning tablets; it is the combination of abandoning tablets AND the takeover of this forum by maemo.org at the same time.
