I don't know, I just like them. They are useful, for both games, flipping the device, panning/scrolling, as well as the weird G1 maps thing. Look what iPhone did with it. (IMO, its more important than multitouch)

A N97, just another bloated phone, nothing special.

And the home screen - at least what i see in the videos - is kind of maemoish.

So we have a S60 device that looks like an N810 with a homescreen that's similar to Maemo's... Interesting times.

seems like the directional pad will stay where it's in the next tablet.

is that a phone?

or a pocket computer? :D

if that's N97 I wonder what the next NIT will be called?

it sure looks like a NiT though doesn't it?

They would also need to add an extra row to the keyboard and remove the phone.

But if Nokia is pitching the N97 as their always-connected pocket computer, how the heck are they intending to pitch a future N900?
