Once again the differences between the markets seem to shine through. There are millions of people who buy N-Series phones and then, 3-6 months later Nokia has released an updated version of software which is incompatible with the device or even hardware which is much better ( I just bought an N78, the N79 has already been announced and will probably ship within 6 months of the release of the N78). The E71 was released with S60 fp1 AFTER fp2 was already shipping on other devices.

@Allnameswereout : If you can do what the box advertises on the N810WE then even if an N900 comes out a month later that won't diminish the value of that N810WE.

Remember that as much as Nokia has been in this business for going on 3 to 4 years, and they talk about becoming an 'internet' company they are still primarily a phone manufacturer. In the phone world, phones are considered old after 4-6 months and end of lifed after 1.5 years. If they EOL the N810 and introduce a newer, faster more capable device decide if you want to buy it or just stick with the N810 which will probably receive some cursory upgrades for the next year at least.
