I will be honest - I have had several resistive HTC phones before and I never had any issue using them with a finger - Hell i still use one of them as my main GPS. Maybe I just have bony fingers.

OK. If Engadget has a phone. Can they not give us a first look or hands on review? Or did I miss it. That 4 minute talk didn't tell me anything.

Actually, No, it looks bad. The n810 screen and keyboard are perfect. In the n900 they shrunk the screen and the keyboard looks like its going to be a huge handicap. If they actually tried to do something useful on the show, like oh maybe use the phone and type on it, we could get a feel for it.

********. The on-screen keyboard gets me up over 40wpm. It's not ideal, but it certainly doesn't stink.

ahhh... N900 was made as a phone, the N810 is just a tablet, so yah as a phone its compact enought to retain the features...not bad.

Smaller screen bad though.

********. You're typing speed has little to do with how much I enjoy the on-screen...

Haha.... Seriously though as a primary user of the on-screen, IMO there's a whole lotta room for improvement. I would like to see a variant that didn't take up the entire screen but could still be used easily with the finger.

}:^)~

Wasn't the n97 supposed to be the phone and the nXXX the mobile internet tablets? Is the n900 is supposed to replace the n97? I'm confused.

Yeah I've seen it. Just wondering why they haven't done their own review. They usually do.
