Slow down a bit there, now! I assume you already have a phone, right? Wouldn't combining the two into one mean you save money on the new phone, and probably use it more since it will be with you nearly all of the time? So if you have, say, an E71 or 5800 and an N810, you could sell them all and get this instead, and wait for the RX-71 in the meantime. I'm a gadget whore, and having the most powerful device available is a necessity I feel totally entitled to, and even being unemployed, I EXPECT one of these things in my hands the week its released. It was that way with the N90, N80, N73, N93, N95, N95 8gb, E90, and E71. I have an N97 on its way after a 2 month trial, and will have this thing too, as long as my criminal exploits and blatant broad daylight robberies are successful. LOL!
Many Symbian flagship users have this same attitude, and the phone heads will take Maemo to the next level. A phone is WAY more important than a web tablet.

THIS screen is small, but I think there will be bigger coming. I have to say, though, coming from Symbian, the N97's screen is enormous, and at 800x480, unlike anything I've seen! I would prefer a 4.1" screen, but I'm cool with 3.5".

It will have a stylus, and an onscreen keyboard, so I've been told. I think you should HOPE all tablets have a phone module built in for adoption purposes. Web tablets are projected as a 20 million device market annually at best, whereas smartphones will sell near 200 million this year alone! More sales mean cheaper prices, more apps, and a homogenation of the web tablet and smartphone, something no one else is even positioned to do.
