Mouse in your pocket, Rebski? I didn't name you, and wasn't referring to any of your comments that I've seen. If you didn't commit the offense, then no need to jump, right? And I'm not gonmna address your rank sarcasm and antagonism, sorry... that's beyond old.

Just a few weeks after that, the N800 was out of stock at all European Nokia stores. Now it is out of stock at most US stores.

To put everything in context, you also claim to have contacts at Nokia and to have some direct information, but usually under some form of NDA.

I regret to have to say this, but considering that the N800 is now out of stock about everywhere on the planet, it looks like you are not telling us the truth.


The interested reader can check the whole story by using the search function of the forum on your i.d. The interested reader can also check whether or not the N800 is still available in European Nokia stores.
Take a chill pill yourself, Jerome.

I'm under no obligation either way on this topic. I'm simply trying to point out specifics. You don't speak for the company, yet you acted as if you did when you replied to the OP that the N800 is certainly being discontinued. This implies you have direct knowledge. If you do so, fine: then I call your bluff. Where does it come from? And I don't mean the trail of evidence cited-- absolute statements require hard proof, not just a preponderance of evidence.

Others, like Rebski (who got a bit carried away in his reply above), are simply using deductive reasoning to hazard a guess. That's cool. But a big difference between that and your post.

As for my credentials, they're readily available in scattered posts here, and I don't feel an overwhelming urge to prove who I am or what I know at the moment, sorry. Suffice to say my involvement with the internet tablets goes beyond "contacts" and "NDAs".
