That's rediculous. Texrat never gets his fill of taunting us.

Nokia, per their press release for CES dated yesterday, is showcasing the N810 at CES this year. If they are going to release details on the next gen, it wont be this week.

Soon is, um, relative.

And I don't mean to taunt... just... vaguely reassure. Yeah. That's the ticket. :D

Hmm Tex - How 'bout hardware as a service? I just send Nokia $500 every 6 months and they send me another amazing tantalizing device ( that's somewhat lacking so I still long for the next one )

Thank you Sir! May I have another?

Whatever features they decide to put in the new device: What I cares most for is the issue of cards. If they give us a device with micro- or mini-SD, and only one slot at that, I will be so extremely disappointed that I will have no words for it. Now that it seems to be a verified fact (reading up on specs) that SDHC is _not_ limited to 32GB, but actually 2048GB, full-size SDHC will _always_ be better than the tiny cards. And in any case the tiny cards are so small I'm going to keep losing them (as I do already with any other item that small).

This is really the most important thing for me. I also have six other devices which use full-size SD. Full-size SD is a _must_ for me. Yes, I would like to have TV out. And wimax would be great. But no deal if I don't get the SD slots.

Puh! I'll go away now - I'll not whine anymore about this until we see the new device announced.

All I can say is that the trend is increasingly toward microSD.

I haven't read the whole thread, so don't know if this had been written (I see that usb charging has, which I fully endorse).

I have the 6500 classic which has "micro-usb for everything". It's cool, but nagging me because Nokia hasn't released a micro-usb to minijack cable. They have made it mind you, but only bundled it with the 8800 luna or something...

Anyway - I would really like a screen thats flush with the case.

@nikolajhendel,

Dont you think that Having a screen flush with the case causes more problems than advantages ? In no time you would be wiping it again and again to clean the spots made by fingertips.

As it is now, both the Nokia 770 and the N800 can be held (pinched) by respective edges / sides. Imagine yourself standing on a crowded train and trying to use it with the screen flush with the case. You will be probably covering a part of the screen with your fingers.

With flush I meant that the screen should not be receded in the case. I fully endorse that the screen doesn't go to the edges (as I very much like the navigation and what not buttons).

Actually thought of another option that would be nice:
- A tactile scroller or a wheel on the right side of the screen. That way scrolling could be done with right thumb.
I really hate scrolling with the dpad, especially since it sometimes registers as a single click and jumps to whatever it feels like.
