Just because it ships with Android doesn't mean that another OS can't run on it right? Would it be possible to flash it to run something like Maemo?

Usability also means registering touches when you WANT it to - hnce a slightly harder press which is comforting to many.
Usability is also about registering fine grained clicks like with a stylus.
Usability is also about handwriting recognition supporting screen.
and more ....
So FIRSTLY - get your definition of usability correct, then you can spout innanities about capacitive vs resistive.

Maemo/Mer on Dell
sends a shudder through me, but why not?

Well if this is a Dell hardware design they could take it and shrink it down... I find it simpering and attractive... The load time is kinda horrendous... I would think it's running the latest cortex a8 or similar.. Too boot that long is questionable... It would be a god work desk device if the immediate Internet is not at your disposal but it's too big to be a real everyday device... N900 of the same lenght bit with the streaks thickness would be boss... Future iterations I am sure will have such qualites it's just a matter of patients... Dell streak is a sexy piece hardware though... I like gadgets!

If I'm off on the definition of usability, you're 180° off.

It looks like the arcos 5, but perhaps its the build or look of the next maemo device ( which is what I believe is what the person that started the thread may have meant ) since a lot of ppl want a non-keyboard device ( for those who love the n800 as apposed to the n810) I am one of those ppl who just need a physical keyboard... its a great looking piece of hard ware though despite negative commentary.

My reaction: the screen is too damn big. It might be nice for those who want a tablet, but as a phone it is fricking huge.
The N900 is probably at the limit of how big I want to go with such a device.
