Re: N900 specs revealed
 
I'm pleased with the smaller screen, actually. As long as the resolution is maintained I say make it as small as you can! I've got really good eyesight though (and a steady hand) so I can see why others might not be as keen.

The keyboard though? Downgrading from the n810's 4-row keyboard is something I'm dubious about (not to mention dpad--). Hopefully once we see it for real there will be some detail that makes it usable.

I like the RAM and 32GB of internal flash too. I've been fighting with microSD cards lately (every miniSD adapter I have is flakey, I think).

That's the thing. NONE of us are getting any younger.

about screen size and resolution:

is there any reason why they'd stick with 800x480 on such a small screen? it already was luxury on the current tablets, but seriously: which kind of application would benefit from such a high dpi value? I don't see the point of it any longer. very confusing.

Eh. I've got another good 5 years in me yet :D

All indications I've seen point to Nokia Maps (which is distinct from the Wayfinder "Map" on current devices) being bundled.

Why compromise on the screensize? Will be holding onto my N800 a little while longer!

3.5" screen size will negatively affect vehicle GPS usage. Dealbreaker.

IMO this was a bonehead move-- unless one of the other devices I didn't get to see comes out around the same time with a 4" screen...

Hm... did you just confirm you know of another maemo device? ;)

I sure hope so. I won't buy this... thing.

Edit: and right now I'd just like to thank any higher power up there for Mer and Tear.

After all this is supposed to be the new Internet Tablet. The screen size of an IT or MID is in the range of 4.5” to 6” - ok give or take a bit, it is not cast in stone. Bigger is a UMPC and smaller is a smart phone.

A screen size of 3.5” puts it in the Palm Treo, iPhone, HTC, etc. category.

This is not an Internet Tablet, at least as I would understand the term.
Those specs are dead-on... fortunately in some areas, unfortunately in others.

I know of a *possible* additional device. There were hints. But whatever it is/was/may be, it was kept much, much better hidden from the Nokia rank and file than Rover (RX-51) was. My queries went nowhere.
