I love my 810 and I can't wait to see the next device. Even with the horrible camera and video, I use it everyday, to talk to my wife I love the size of my 810 and I can't imagine carrying anything bigger.

That said, I carry around a usb/wifi Logitech game controller in my laptop bag, so I can play on my 810. Well I love having KDE or a real Window Manager environment in my hand, its a hack until Nokia does it, or someone besides me. Debian project is promising but not there yet. I am thinking my Pandora console will be used for gaming, and work . While I will keep my 810 for GPS, Live Video, and home use.

While I love my 810, I want a computer in my hand. I want to install a printer package, not compile one, I want to install KDE not compile it. I want MOST linux apps to just work if I do have to compile them. I am not a developer, nor do I want to be. I also don't want to have to wait for developers. I waited a year before taking things into my own hands.

I give Nokia a lot of credit, they have given us of some cool hardware to play with. They have been very open, they have not tried to keep us locked out.

I am very interested in Pandora, it seems to be the first real competition to Nokia tablets, at least to me.

I am still waiting for someone to give me 1024x600
