Somehow everybody I know who has a device keeps insisting the screen size isn't an issue, and somehow everybody else keeps insisting it is.
I wonder who's better qualified to judge?

For you. Personally, I can't stand reading on the iPhone and, no, its DPI is not sufficient for me. Again, please go back to the post I was quoting. I believe the DPI will have an effect for that user.
As a person that's done a fair amount of design work, 160dpi is MUCH more than sufficient for small legible text. Ysss is right, if there is a threshold, the iPhone's dpi is above it.
I'll bet that the computer that you're working off of has something closer to 80-140dpi, and I'll also bet that you have no trouble reading off of that.

That's the problem, it's a "smart phone". Nokia has officially abandoned the mobile internet tablet platform.
http://arstechnica.com/tags/maemo/20...bile-linux.ars
From the article;
"The tablet concept is not as compelling today in the mobile market where the iPhone and other modern smartphones are boosting expectations. Consumers increasingly demand desktop-like browsing on their phone itself and don't want a secondary handheld device. Nokia's tablets, like the rest of the MID class, exist within the awkward space between cell phones and netbooks. That space is shrinking into oblivion as products on both sides of the divide become better. Nokia's answer is to turn the tablet into a smartphone."
Blasphemy, Blasphemy!

I wouldn't say the tablet is turned into a smartphone completly. Rather the tablet has taken on features of the phone that make it appear like a smartphone
To me a smartphone is a device that doesn't truly do a desktop like experience and usually involves compromises (e.g. no flash on websites on the iPhone). Yet the n900 can still do desktop like things.

Well, the N900 is Nokia's 2009 flagship model...and since the year is 2009, logic will say that the N900 is the best smartphone released at the moment.

I liked the review that said that with the n900 telephony had become "Just another application among many", rather than being the defining feature of the device. Given that the one thing I almost never do with a smart phone is make calls, that's exactly what I need.
Is it the best? Just let me get my sticky little paws on one and I'll tell you.

If you wanted to make calls, you wouldn't get a smartphone, would you?
