That's why I am not asking any penetrating questions either - just soaking up all the info - and I seem to like what I heard so far.

If I understand correctly the N900 is bezel free (hoorah). Were there any indications that the resistive input ended at the edges of the screen, or indications that it extended beyond the edges?

The pre uses off screen touchability for task selection. If this is the case with this device interesting things with touch-input could be accomplished.


YARR!

Bezel! That's the word I'm looking for.

Edit: Seriously, if you looked at my other posts I've been calling it a hard case, overlay, almost everything besides bezel since I couldn't remember what it was called.

Well if they have a 3.5" screen on such a device i seriously dont expect any tablet size devices from nokia.
As we already heard in this thread, the screen size reduction isn't really that noticeable when you actually use the device.

I also got to play with the development device, and I have to say: cool! Much faster than N810, with better keyboard and touchscreen. And Midgard2 runs! :cool:

Heh. 654 posts about how a 3.5" screen would be "too small" and a "dealbreaker", and in use, you didn't notice it was smaller.
He didn't mount it in his car and use it for driving directions, either. :p

Having now read this a number of times, it seems as if the changes in the UI have decreased the amount of OS/application chrome - making the perceived reading space feel the same despite the smaller size. Such a thing is good, and if it has no bezel (whoohooo!) then that makes it even nicer for reading.

3 rows on the keyboard is less than I was expecting. Based on my N810 (4 rows) I was hoping for more rows, not less, although I haven't tried this prototype device.

For the extra symbols reached by shifting, were shift keys present on both corners of the keyboard? On the N810, the Fn key is only on the left, making typing 1, 2, 3 harder than it should be (and yes, I know you can press Fn and release).

In fact, can anyone recall the layout in general?

How many of those who did the hands-on with the proto are on record as favorably-biased toward the 3.5" screen?

:p again

True... even the 4"+ screen on N8x0 sometimes feel a bit small for in car use.

But, as I see this the Navigation use is no longer "marketed" as key feature. I can understand this since dedicated GPS units now sell so cheap that if you need a GPS navigation you likely buy a dedicated GPS unit for this anyway... Just my 2 c about this subject. :)

We just can't get away from that Other Device Required paradigm, can we? ;)
