'Iphone can do it better'

Fine, then stick to your Iphone, you have no business fooling about on a site like this, which covers real smartphones.

but who wants to rely on the web version of google calendar when you absolutely need to do something fast? if i’m standing in front of the judge and he asks me, “counsel, are you available on such and such a date?” i don’t want to be waiting for the interwebz to get back to me; i want it on my phone right now, sync afterwards. what would be so hard about making the n900’s built-in calendar app capable of syncing with google calendar?

There were 6 or 7 instances of google documents running (all with ajax and heavy on the processing) Typically one would have only one google app running in the browser at a time, I'm sure it would be more fluid when doing so.

The point is, this is the only smartphone out there that can edit google docs, iphone and google's own android can not. I would love to see a programmer/hacker enable a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work with this device. And with video out, you're golden.

@Esteban – please spare us the silly comments… The stylus is purely optional and can be used for additional precision (this is a 800×480 screen

One could as well zoom in with a finger-doubeclick and then continue finger-work.

@Esteban, the guy could have used the screen without the stylus, it's just an option to be more precise. I bet if you use it you couldn't tell the screen is resistive or capacitive.

Resistive nowadays is just as sensitive as capacitive, without multitouch, but with precision.

Whoa…. Im just checking out this Nokia stuff because I haven’t really played around with it much… but…. i was surprised to see a STYLUS in the video. In the year 2009, i don’t think too many real strong smart-phones are coming out with resistive touch screens, especially of that size! I wouldn’t buy one just for that.

Looks "a bit" slow. It's very slow.

iPhone can do it better.
