He says the touchscreen sucks, but he also refers to the OS as "May-Mo."

Maybe his finger swiping is as weak as his pronunciation research......

What...

Well, in the positive side, the open nature of Maemo makes possible to add a touchscreen keyboard.

Can you add a physical keyboard to an iPhone?

Yeah, well, except for the fact that they already include one.

Haha... Not quite the N900 review I had in mind. Still, they really didn't say anything bad about the phone other than the resistive wasn't as 'good as capacitive'. They even squeaked in a few praises.

Considering how they generally rip into Nokia, this is a huge win for the N900 and a fine testament to its build quality and the general implementation of the device and OS.

What I thought was most telling was that they had so little to complain about. If the best they can come up with is resistive touch screen and brief anecdotal statements about "when it works", that is fine with me.

But really, this was no serious review or even an attempt at it. It was a "We have five minutes left in a really long first show and we need to unwind a bit." I am not putting a lot of weight into it.
