Have to say I own an N900 in the US and I love it. I prefer the resistive screen because it works better. I can use the web and click on very small links and buttons without having to zoom in and out all the time. It can run Firefox too, but the browser it comes with is so far superior I don't even need it. How do you use a capacitive screen for browsing? You have to zoom in and out all the time. It's a pain. The resistive screen is much better for browsing, and you can fit more detail on screens of all kinds of apps. No constant zooming needed, (although the N900's zoom works just fine.) I'd just rather not have to zoom all the time.
The problem is that no US carrier subsidizes the N900, probably because it has Skype built-in and the US carriers don't like that. Oh well. I only hope one day that Nokia can break into the smartphone market here, even if it means dropping Skype. (Which would suck, but that's better than no Nokia smartphones at all, which is the current situation.)
