No thanks, I'll stick with my non-cellular-hindered platform, thank you. If you want a phone, please go buy a phone.
Yeah. But most of the people who even consider the n8xx decline it on the first thought just because it has not phone. They just don't think about anything else.... The first sentence that comes out when i show it to someone is "But it doesn't have a phone?? "

Look at the iphone. Just because it was a phone first it became so popular. Look at the touch it is nowhere as popular as even the tablets. Most of the americans who never heard that they could browse the internet from a phone have started browsing from thier iphones and appreciated the usefullness. If the n800 was released with two different models.. one with and one without a phone..... I am sure the iphone would not have been as successful as it is now.

And we would have seen a lot more n800's
