The resistive screen is actually not a problem. It's one of those things you adjust to, then forget. You can usually use your fingers or stylus, take your pick.

Someone mentioned losing the stylus. Unlike with a capacitive screen, this is not a problem. Use the top end of a ballpoint pen or anything else as a substitute. I often use the capacitive pen I bought for my Android on the N900, works perfectly.

I am not a coder but that doesn't bother me when I'm using my two N900s.

Although the N900 has been around awhile, interesting new things keep appearing. MaeMeeMo redesigns the N900 interface in a pleasing and efficient way. Pierogi gives you a remote that supports a vast number of devices. Waze, a friendly GPS program, is fairly new. There are new calculators and editors. Rarely a dull moment.
