N800's screen was 4 inches + bezel bulk, this looks like 5 inch + bezel bulk. But if it's same width as the N800 I could see this as a possible tablet for those who wanted Nokia to put one out with a big screen (if they don't care if it doesn't run Maemo)
Someone should start a poll. "Was the smaller screen size the reason why you will not buy an N900?"

It's all in the wording..."Will you buy the N910 with the 4 inch screen or the n910 with the 5 inch screen"

And for 90% of us on this forum, the answer is "Yes".

Which is why Nokia will manufacture a device that will sell tens of millions to people with normal pockets rather than millions of 5" devices.

What's the resolution on this thing? If it isn't significantly higher, blah...

Woah, I'm sorry, I missed that. Which side of the great keyboard debate do you subscribe to?

So...if we get together enough people, we can convince them to do a limit run for us!?!?

And no "official"numbers yet on the resolution. Unofficially:

Android 2.0 MID
5″ WVGA (800×480) touch screen
Bluetooth and 3G WWAN connectivity
5MP camera w/dual-LED flash
microSD card slot
1,300mAh battery
WiFi
Three touch-sensitive buttons

You mean you weren't waiting with baited breath for their announcement that the Climate Mission game will be available for Symbian devices at the Ovi Store? :eek:

There are also buttons on the top, including what appears to be a volume/zoom rocker.

While I can jump into the fray in saying that a 5in Maemo device would be great - really, really great. I'm not to sure about this particular design. It looks like an elongated BB Storm (v1).

For Dell, its a smart, but niche, play. Its a good one though. Can't wait to see the thread(s) here about those that purchased this, didn't care for Android and hacked Maemo for it.
