I dont see the reason for all the sceptical-ism and controversy all the fact fall in together nicely and i see the going went like this
nokia made a couple hundred units (rm-680) to release in 2010 found out a major softw. prob like UI/UX issues like zek said so they went back to the blackboard by the time they fixed it the rm-680 wasnt fit for the market hardware wise so they a new device elop says it must be a slate so it appeals to masses and makes cash the new device is the rm-686 that k123 is testing out and to make use of the old rm-680 unit they flash them with the new software and give away to devs and the rm-686 hasnt made it through fcc yet or nokia stuck an apple like deal to keep the fcc quiet
