I think it is due to the screen dimming thing... it does not happen when he opens the keyboard while typing the tags for the photos...

One thing he shows is easy uploading of photos to facebook/ovi/whatever - don't know if it was covered in reviews before.

One more detail: the wallpaper in the desktop switching part looks like a continuous picture...

If you read about the new theme manager, what you do is create one large background for the desktop - which spans 4 N900 desktops.

So yes - I presume that the max desktops are 4 (or at the least you loose that nice continuous feel).

Ah, dumb me, now I get the talk about the panoramic desktop...

Hmmmm...

Panoramic monitor/linear seat cockpit...

Eh, disregard that... digressing.

Watching that video, my lust for the hardware heightened...
...but my concerns of the OS also heightened.

Nipple tweaking zooms?? I thought only htc was blond enough to implement something like that Still waiting for a video showing proper double-tap zooming. Unlike the double tap that Jussi performed in the prior video (in dance dust blog) which resulted in an auto-zoom to the wrong area of the screen.

Overall speed seems ok, as to be expected with Cortex A8 class device. Unfortunately screen tearing when switching around the multiple home screens was also possible in this video.

The guy seems very quick and comfortable with the hardware keyboard. That's a very good indication

Its Italian layout; the N900 version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Italian

The zooming I hadn't notice before. I think double tap is much more practical than this fr@ctal zooming.

Yes. I'm personally not a huge fan of that twirling. But double tapping works well. I cannot say that it doesn't ever miss the target, but in 90% of the cases it does what you expect. Plus also the HW +/- (on top of the device) work for zooming pages.

I think double tapping and gestures based on accurate tapping can be a problem on a resistive screen. My NITs often register multiple taps when using fingers. So "nipple tweaking" gestures are more safe to not be misinterpreted by the tablet.
