Depends what type of user. N900 and blackberry is totally different type of user with iPhone.
N900 is hard to swipe? Have you used the N900?
Capacitive is good but not perfect, it lacks of accuracy and you can't use finger nails or other objects, even the stylus have to get the specially made stylus.

In the end, as I said, it depends on the type of users. N900 users are different from iPhone, N8, etc users; What they want and looking for is totally different. That's why I said, coming from an N900 user, most likely they would want something that is good enough to replace their device, but this device is more like a BETTER N8, or probably what N8 should be.
I didn't brick my N900, it's not me, haha.
I can't live without keyboard, I hate using iPhone, iPod Touch, N8, C7, etc on screen keyboard. It's just "different".
It's different lor, back when N900 thread starter, most of my post were done using N900. Plus, nobody knows I was typing on the N900. When I was chatting with my friend though the MSN, we're replying fast and long; They couldn't believe I'm using a handphone while they're on a PC/laptop. Anyway, another difference is, with the physical keyboard, no need for stupid pop up screen for you to type, and when you want to see something, you need to "exit" the stupid screen, read, then touch to access the "input" screen again; If the post is long, it's troublesome to read up, or make corrections in the middle between the words and so on.
It's just "different"; Of course, those that prefer touch screen have their own preference;
Both have pros and cons, each type of user will give and take on it; My point for this is the N9, if it's the supposed replacement for N900, then it has stray away and I believe it has disappoints many N900 owners looking forward for this.
