I thought BoyGeniusReport is the worst biased reviewer, but Joshua is 100 times more lame:

I mean is not THAT bad, but for a 800 US$ device... someone needs to tell Nokia how to do things, me, a person with experience, someone should go there and stop the production lines"

I agree with the sentiment that Engadget has declined deeper into Apple Fanboy-ism since Ryan Block left, however...
Josh does demonstrate the responsiveness (or lack thereof) of the N900's screen and I can tell you as an American, this demonstration will unfortunately resonate with many US consumers for whom the iPhone, and to a much lesser extent extent the Palm Pre and Android, are the only touchscreen phone(s) worth consideration.
It's pretty hard to argue that a capacitive screen isn't more satisfying and easier to use when navigating with your finger. Perhaps not by much, but Josh's demo is telling--whether you like it or not.

Can we please not be whiny fanboys here?
It doesn't help to cuss and curse at 'apple fanboys' out there when we're displaying a form of our own lame fanboyism here.

I'm simply happy that this happened, no matter what the content was.
Using a mobile OS and device that is new to you when you are actually happy about the mobile device and OS you are familiar with it's a bit like finding a new lover while you are so used to love someone. It takes time to stop trying to find the old lover in the new one, no matter how good your new lover is.
But I guess most of us learned great things from new lovers? Any emotional relationship has a first encounter.

Yea Josh is annoying as hell, an insult to a good name lol. Honestly, did you see him TRY to not use the resistive, it's resistive, it's not going to work like capacitive, press down a bit. Really annoying how they do this, I bet he's sleeping with Steve Jobs.

I was just scrolling on the n810 with my finger through a heavy boxwave screen protector, almost not touching the screen and it worked...

Goes to show exactly how important marketing really is.
