What device to get?
 
I have been waiting for an update to n810 before buying myself one, and even though I am thoroughly excited about the n900, the incompatibility with AT&T 3G spectrum implies I am going to have to continue looking.

So, I need a device now, with the following capabilities most certainly present.
- Pocketable
- Hardware keyboard preferred, the folding design is ideal (like the n810 for example)
- Resistive touch screen, for taking notes with the stylus where possible
- 800x480 resolution at the minimum
- Runs Linux, preferably
- BT tethering with my cellphone reliably (e71), WiFi
- Flash, and Java preferably
- PC sync capabilities
- Affordable

Notice how the n810 satisfies almost everything perfectly. But it's pretty old now, and I have to wonder how long before it is "outdated" (of course, just about everything today becomes obsolete tomorrow among such tech gadgetry, but still) . I have been looking at a few toys, Touchbook, Viliv, Archos etc .. any suggestions?

What about importing the europe version of N900?
Other than that.. maybe the new Sharp super mini netbook.

This is also my current quest. I have the same criteria and the sharp netwalker would be perfect if only it could be folded to make a tablet.

My only addition is that a 5" screen is preferable

Not my intention to hijack only to attract more attention.

It should be noted that I already have an n810 and love it dearly but I find I also need a device to do word processing out and about on but I dont really want to bring a netbook everywhere I go, unlike the tablet which virtually lives at my side.
