I like that the kickstand goes all the way across the back and that you can slide your hand through it to hold it. The shorter stylus seems easier to use.

On the software side things are less clear. The basic UI and functionality seems to work better "out of the box" in Diablo, but I do keep finding ways to customize the software in N900 to get it closer to how I'd like...which I certainly haven't been able to do with something like Android.

btw...quick side question. Is there a keyboard shortcut to bring up the application menu? I seem to have poor luck at hitting the menu in the upper left portion of the screen on the first try.

Good points about the n800.. But it didnt have a phone! Try adding that to it lol.

Thanks I'm aware of this.

I used the wrong word, not unusable but in a not very good experience.

The user has to close the tool bar and the visual keyboard takes more than half of the screen. It's not convenient to use the tools and the visible area is not big enough.

Once there is a HW keyboard the visible area is much bigger.

You are absolutely right. Hence I overcompensated and bought 3 N900s

I have 2x n900, 1x n9 and I buy a n950 recently, but n900 still wins hands down

The N900 takes better pictures than C7.
