A few thoughts:

Continues to look like it has a very snappy UI
I'm more convinced that the zooming will be fairly easy to deal with once I get the hang of it
The game looks cool

The skeptic in me also wonders about that youtube video. I could see the bar showing that it had loaded quite a bit but playback still seemed choppy. Also, the camera picture seemed very blurry, although I don't know if that's just youtube.

nice video, thanks for sharing. That bounce game looks quite nice, hope that it's full or has more than just 3 levels.

Thanx for the video, looks fast and responsive, web browser seems fast enough with flash enabled, faster than my N97 it seems.

I agree, the UI seems snappy all around. Vsync tearing is very unfortunate and a surprise to me, I hope they fix this soon.

The keyboard looks great. The guy could type on it quickly and comfortably.

Camera looks good, but it's pretty slow saving the image. I hope this can be sped up in future updates.

Game looks ok... hopefully crossplatform development tools will come to market so that the more advanced games available on iphone\touch can be ported to maemo too.

Yes, I noticed that seemed a longer wait than I was expecting.

Re: the vysnc tearing, I'm still hoping that this is an artefact that only shows up when being videoed. I've added a question about this to http://wiki.maemo.org/Nokia_World_2009_QA

@pelago: Yes, I've tried to discern that too, and my conclusion is it it's not a video recording artifact. The tearing is consistent seen from multiple angle\brightness level. I'm 90% sure it's from the device.

There's a well done review here ...
The N900 from a Community Perspective.

The time the device takes to save the image is the norm for nokia, all the n-series iv had (n80, n85, n95, n96, n97 etc) all take a few seconds to process the image, so i wouldnt wory to much about that. Id like it to have a fast shutter so we get sharp images even if the subject is moving, that will be nice.

A hands on video (very very visible screen tearing ) and lots of pictures.

Here's an interesting one:

I didn't see any screen tearing on the phone. I think what you might of saw is the refresh rate on the camera being slightly different on the phone perhaps.
