I will get it if the prices isn't insane under the 650 euro and I want to be able to buy an screen protector for it (luckily Brando is fast).

And if they don't explode ore fall apart within 60 seconds, but I'm not worried about that because it's an Nokia

Not itching right now... will wait for :

a) real-life reviews by trusted community members (not engadget etc. :-)

b) hard data on the local situation : availability, actual price... and whatever happens or not with the French telcos (as it's a phone, no ? :-)

I guess you guys alredy know my answer!

I ll get it the first day. I am ready to switch to t-mobile and i am expecting to pay about 279 $ for it. I am going to sell my n810, n95-8gb and the extra batteries.

I voted other. The poll seems to be weighted to people buying (first 3 choices), too early to tell, other as maybe, only 1 "no" choice. I would've liked to see a "not very likely" along with "I'm sure not".

So count my other as not very likely:
1) It's a phone! (Likely way too expensive unlocked, not willing to sign a 2 year contract to get an affordable price).
2) Screen is too small
3) UI seems to be too oriented to too flashy finger friendly for my taste. (No stylus keyboard)
4) Potential, however infinitesimal at this point, that there may be a real tablet in the future (larger screen, no cellular)

In the long run, that has the benefit of increasing the userbase of Nokia fans!... :)

Or not...? I'll start a poll. "Nokia taste: nature or nurture?"

On topic: I'm sure I won't buy it bacause the day I finish paying for my N800 I trust Nokia will be already releasing a new tablet, hopefuly cheaper and larger than the rx-51.

Except for the price:(, I am veryyyyyyyyy much into the device.

If someone is willing to do me a favor by getting one for me, I would be really thankful ;-):)

You want these features.. you gotta pay. 'Course, you COULD go with the EXCLUSIVE telco that I'm sure Nokia will sell this through and get it for only just about the price of one of the previous Internet Tablets plus a 2 or 3-year contract... which, in the end, makes you pay over the long term a LOT more for this device than if you'd just outright purchased it.

Whoo! Free market*! (*except with contract) heh

Awww.. that's cute, you want to choose your carrier. :)

It appears, my friend, that we have similar opinions.
