Re: Leaving the N900 -which Android with keyboard?

just my 2c

I've had a desire Z, courtesy of my employer, for a week. I could have opted for an n900 but, sadly, felt it was too much of a dead-end given the uncertainty of Nokia's support.

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?

it looks as if Nokia's relationship with Intel goes deeper than we guessed.

The N9 is probably based on a similar platform to the abandoned LG GW990 which was shown a year ago but never made it...

Re: Why all high end devices have something stupid in them?

Re: Is there anything comparable to the N810?

I considered one, ended up buying a Fujitsu U2010 (aka U820). My n800 is now at home waiting for Mer or something similar to revive it.
