That's why I am not asking any penetrating questions either - just soaking up all the info - and I seem to like what I heard so far.

Here's a bit of a weird question:
If I understand correctly the N900 is bezel free (hoorah). Were there any indications that the resistive input ended at the edges of the screen, or indications that it extended beyond the edges?
The pre uses off screen touchability for task selection. If this is the case with this device interesting things with touch-input could be accomplished.
YARR!

Edit: Seriously, if you looked at my other posts I've been calling it a hard case, overlay, almost everything besides bezel since I couldn't remember what it was called.

Well if they have a 3.5" screen on such a device i seriously dont expect any tablet size devices from nokia.
I also got to play with the development device, and I have to say: cool! Much faster than N810, with better keyboard and touchscreen. And Midgard2 runs!

Heh. 654 posts about how a 3.5" screen would be "too small" and a "dealbreaker", and in use, you didn't notice it was smaller.

3 rows on the keyboard is less than I was expecting. Based on my N810 (4 rows) I was hoping for more rows, not less, although I haven't tried this prototype device.
For the extra symbols reached by shifting, were shift keys present on both corners of the keyboard? On the N810, the Fn key is only on the left, making typing 1, 2, 3 harder than it should be (and yes, I know you can press Fn and release).
In fact, can anyone recall the layout in general?

But, as I see this the Navigation use is no longer "marketed" as key feature. I can understand this since dedicated GPS units now sell so cheap that if you need a GPS navigation you likely buy a dedicated GPS unit for this anyway... Just my 2 c about this subject.
