Nice thread. Just wanted to jump in here seeing that I've had my fill and so many of you have contributed a lot towards my learning of the OS side of the IT life.

Been doing some homework so to speak, looks as if this might be part of a further reaching play by Nokia. My thoughts are this:
- engage the Linux community to play, highlight those folks doing considerable work
- release three devices similar in most of the hardware configuration, but different enough to hit different audiences - effectively making hardware abstract and the software the driver (of innovation, service, purpose)
- then price accordingly with the want of people to be connected and the state of digital networks to come

If that's the case, then effectively step 3 of Nokia's plan could be a 3 device strategy, step 4 a services one, and step 5 the mouth dropping tid bit that has been alluded to in various spots here.

Kinda exciting, but like many of you, the wait and specualtion are killers.

Would love to see Diablo (a 4.1 not a 5) introduce some consistency in the UI across the default and some of the included 3rd party apps. Matching up with the FF3 engine should be something done, but I wonder how much can be done seeing where that project is at this point (at least one more beta and a release candidate or two I would think before final).

And thinking of the slight hardware tweaks of the N800 to N810, the N810WE (or N830 as the Best Buy circular named it) would seem to have something of a tweak as well. Maybe some tightening of the internals and some optimizations with more efficient RAM modules or something of that sort. Something where those Diablo tweaks really shine through, but aren't so missed on the N800/N810 models.

Again, just some thoughts after reading and thinking a bit.
