although I'm buying a N8 i will still use N900 as my main device, N8 will be a secondry device handy for when I'm going out on trips and partying for taking good videos and pictures, i don't think i could go below 800 x 480 on my main device either i've not used a device with that low res for ages, if it was higher then it would be perfect device for many and will be perfect for some any way.
oh and symbian browser sucks i wish they would update it already

But since you know the N8's exact resolution, that WVGA on its spec sheet is not there to comfort you. Actually you don't even know the resolution, it's 360x640 not 260. So there is lack of 32x13 pixels. Don't even tell me your N810 is your everyday main device, I highly doubt it. If you were a pure resolution whore, I doubt you would buy a Captivate instead of a Droid X or Iphone 4 which offer more pixels that you use. Droid X is FWVGA, so 54 pixels extra in the vertical compared to N810 or N900 that are actually displayed. So what's my point? That resolution viewed doesn't bother you, but the spec sheet for bragging rights.
Point. Do you have one? I knew about that Nexus One article when it was published 6 months ago.
Now. Let's see. You're trying to prove a point about the Samsung Captivate. I'll give you credit. You're trying. But here's the deal.
It's still more than 640x260 at 653x392. So I'm asking again... what is your point exactly?. Come back with the 13 pixels x 132 pixels that's missing in the N8 and then let's talk.
Until then, I don't see your point other than it's less on one of my phones... you missed out on the N810 and N900.
And to quote myself:
That's my measuring stick. Not the Captivate; despite it having a (claimed) 800x480 resolution, it's still more than the upcoming N8. And thus... my next quote still stands:
N9 comes out, 800x480, guess where I'll be. I'll give you 9 guesses.
I sacrificed with the iPhone (blame my office) and right now, I'm still ahead with the Captivate... N9 comes... then let's chat.
Until then, your numbers are falling short still.

In your rush to "make a point", your whole discussion is flawed. Let's start over with some history that you're obviously lacking.
I had a N810. Loved it. When the N900 was announced, it supported the resolution, but not my carrier of choice. My company gave me the iPhone, which I had endured with. It did phone things... I still used my N810 for web things. Carried both.
iPhone 3GS to Captivate is a move up. But I'd rather be at where my N810 is at 800x480, true WVGA. I'm talking about my next phone... not the Captivate, not your other deflections. So from N810, it's been all about trying to get back to what I consider a limit... 800x480.
I endured an iPhone for 3 years. I can endure a Captivate for 1 more year.
Now, with your puerile egocentricity pushed aside - it's always been me that's being egocentric and only talking about my opinion about what I'd accept/not accept - I'm sticking with my own words from before that you've unwisely ignored only to prove some minor point.
Fooled? Hardly. But guess what? It's still more than your precious N8 and I'm following my own words... I ain't going down, I'm looking to go up.

I've said it before, but
The Nokia 7710 in 2004 was the first widely available touch screen phone from Nokia.. It had a 640x320 display..
Increasing the number of pixels by 12.5% to 640x360 in 6 years is lame...
Increasing the screen size from 3.5" (2004 - 7710) to 4" on the E7 just makes the low resolution E7 display seem blocky..
3.5" 7710 640x320 in 2004.. amazing
3.5" N8 640x360.. a little bit yawn, blocky, spectrum-resolutiony..
I guess its about catering for the lowest supported spec for the platform.. Maemo has a very high minimum, whereas Symbian^3 still clings to the idea it'll run on a $20 handset, something that really helped Symbian gain market share.. but now prevents it from scaling into the top end effectively..

I am growing impatient and want a MeeGo-based device NOW. Oh, and don't forget all the good hardware aspects it should include.

You betcha. I have a DSLR... I do graphics for a living. I rarely use my camera on my cellphone. So heck yeah. I'd pass on the best camera attached to a Symbian^3 phone.

Both of these features would be of interest to me, but hopefully host mode on N900 will get us the first, and for me, the 2nd isn't enough to prevent me from waiting for a Maemo- or Meego-based device with HDMI out, but it would still be of interest.

engadget says intel is a no go for meego devices not until feb of next year. i think thats just a press release to cause confusion coz the specs of n9 does not include an intel processor.
one might think though that n9 might be delayed coz they are not talking abt a specific handset.

interesting point of view !
Still at 640x360 != 653x392 (actual) or 800x480.
