2. Will it be available without phone features/contract?
I'm not sure that it looks any thicker than the N810s, no?

As for the availability without phone features and contract--that's the main point (#1) for me. I do NOT want to pay this obviously inflated price to suffer with a piece of radio I do not want to use or be stuck with a contract to a service provider I do not like or want.

My N800 sounds best whenever I use it--period. :) Face-speakers will always be better.

What I'm interested in is seeing how many of you were on the fence or weren't going to get it before and now, after seeing the screenshots, changed your minds. Or even people that were planning to, but saw something they didn't like and now won't.

Anyone?
I wasn't planning on getting the device right away, but my definition of "not right away" has shortened.

It's a Nokia, so YES. When will you Americans start demanding proper SIM cards? Things won't change until you stop paying for the jailed devices in the first place.

It's not inflated. It matches the cost of other similar devices, and is much better than all of them. Don't compare it to the old Maemo devices, which are much older.

interesting how it stacks all the wireless tray icons in a 2x2 area, i am guessing that the two way transmission icon is the phone radio, and that there will be a gps icon along with them when its active.

Hey, at least they didn't put them inside the keyboard drawer.

I was talking about just the zoom button, which could operate like an n800 but not be separate buttons, as this one seemed sort of long to just be zooms. so press one side or the other gets zooming, press in the middle get fullscreen. It seems stupid since there is room for a small fullscreen button on the top, not to have it there.
