I likes. Given how the design of the prior N-series have been going, this would be refreshing, non-derivative, less indicative of something so last-gen or lacking.

Simply put, I was never happy with the N900 design.

Interesting idea, but I prefer a hard keyboard over a soft one. Shame there wouldn't be a way to integrate one into that design without making it bulky or reducing the screen size.

I wholeheartedly agree. I've never been a fan of of these slide-out keyboards and MUCH prefer a more accurate resistive touchscreen keyboard with a stylus. This just combines the advantages of both--a touchscreen keyboard and a non-interfering slide-out--with the added advantage that it could also function as a kind of second screen and all the added advantages that could come from that.

Cool concept but I'd prefer a hardware keyboard...the touchscreen could be good for gaming though, you could have circular zones that act like analog sticks, plus with multitouch you could set out a layout similar to MP:H on the DS which would be great for FPSes.

I like it!

If you can't put stantum touchscreen on both, then have a capacitive on one (the keyboard side) and resistive on the other. I'm sure the UI can be tweaked to make use of both tech whenever appropriate.

Shame, because Nokia above all manufacturers was the most experimental with designs starting with N70, N93, N95, E70 and the E90....hopefully Nokia can lead that train again.

I really like the desing, but I'm concerned about the battery life two screens would give...

same as the battery life on 2 n900s ;)
