I'd like to see something like Pandora with a smaller clamshell design & 2 SD card slots, but I'd also like the keyboard to be a bit different. I can type pretty fast with my Treo 755p; I figure the reason is because of shorter distance between keys, and the keys are tapered very well so that you can feel the difference between one key & the next easily. The Treo's thumbboard is just barely larger than 1"x2"... it's incredible. I wish these MIDs would start using thumbboards like the Treos in the middle of a compact clamshell design (think DS Lite), with joystick (or d-pad) on left side of keys and gaming keypad on right side for essential gaming buttons!!
I haven't been too fond of the sliders, like N810, but I am considering the Gigabyte M528 that runs Ubuntu Mobile -

.... only disappointment seems to be the less than 3 hr battery life. But I can manage to pay for another battery or two. I *really* like how it has a SIM card slot and practical cameras on both sides of the machine. The only way it could be better, IMO, is the better keyboard/joystick (d-pad)/5-way input setup like I mentioned above.
There are just too many good machines to look out nowadays, I'll prolly skip the N800. But I really do want that 5+ hour battery life. Arrgghh...
