Body-wise it is the nicest "looking"
Now we just need to cannibalize one and cram it full of linux goodness ...
and see if the Frankemo will walk.

CRAP!

what am I talking about!?!??!!?!
Hell the article is from 2005!

Hm...
the only thing going for it over the n810 is the telephony.
Ok....
I can live with it...
but we got to pretty much gut it.

It may be easier to simply get a new board jammed into an n810 (considering the size of the n810) and make it telephony enabled.
N810...4.3 resistive screen...nice speakers...separate power and usb connectors....excellently sized slider qwerty backlit keyboard that puts all others to shame..steel body...
a tank that will not quit.
I would rather take the pi or beagle and jam it in a n810...
make it a more current linux handheld tablet.
