And I love the fact that you are marketing the N900 (thanks for officially naming it the 'community's name, btw) as a 'mobile computer'. That is what these devices are all about.

Looks nice, will have to see how much it's subsidised. 500 notes is a lot of money for something with a smaller screen than I'm used to. Unless that N920 will fix that?

Not keen on the browser zooming though. Multi-touch was an elegant solution to a problem that didn't exist; this feels like a cludgy attempt to mimic multi-touch, which is unnecessary. The zoom buttons on my n800 work perfectly, and sit right under where my fingers naturally sit. Ho-hum.

Anyone know if you can turn the phone off, but leave the data connection on?

"removable battery" as an innovative design? Apple's limitations becoming everyone elses features :)

It's clearly targeted as an iPhone killer... if you read through the specs you find stuff like copy-paste, multi-tasking, battery-removing etc. :D
