I see where you're coming from but I'm very forgiving for the simple fact that sw-wise we have a lot of freedom. I also can't imagine that these IT's are either cheap to produce or a big profit earner for Nokia. For some, like me, the progression allowed me to buy the 770 at a knock down price otherwise I would never have been able to afford/justify one at all. Others are getting the N800 at bargain prices. So there is an "upside" at least. HW/feature-wise, all three are impressive in their own way, horses for courses I suppose. As a constructive suggestion why don't current/prospective owners come up with their own designs and feature sets, two categories: "if money was no object" and "realistically". I bet Nokia would be interested in the results. I also bet some fool would post the iPhone :-)
