Also, the "you people" comment is a humorous, but not in any way meant to be insulting, reference to the Black Jack, Robert Downing movie. No harm meant at all.

This conversation should be helpful though to anyone thinking 700K units is worthwhile in a world were iphone 3G is projected to sell 12 million in its first 12 months.

What, are you trying to run Nokia out of business ?
Nokia sells more N-series devices in a month than Apple does in a year. The N810 is essentially an extended R and D project and everyone on these boards knows that or should know it. N series phones on the other hand as well as entry level mass emerging market phones are Nokia's bread and butter.

I have been using an N78 for the last week almost completely ditching my N810 for the usual tasks I use it for, email, internet radio, media player etc. It was only when I picked up my N810 to do some web browsing in bed the other day that I truly appreciated how close Nokia have come to the perfect device. The screen, the OS, the form factor is just about perfect. If they threw in a 5mp camera and HSDPA/GSM chip in there for phone calls there would be a slew of people who would buy those instead of iPhones/N95's and you can count me in that group.

As it is the N78 and the N810 combo is a killer duo, but sometimes I do wish I had the both of their capabilities combined in one unit.
