Yes, this is solidifying my opinion that the n800 was some serious low hanging fruit. I'm guessing that many of you feel similarly that the quick introduction of the n810 created this situation. A situation that probably won't be scene again. The n810 AFAIK has maintained a reasonably tight price grouping for a gadget. So, this thread is helping me come to terms that the next "Nokia Small Linux Thingy" will not be cheap. Fine.

But I agree with The General, if Nokia prices this thing right the size of the user AND developer base could be critical mass huge. Let me put it another way: There was less-than-zero hesitation when it came to purchasing the n800; the price and features made it a no-brainer. Seriously, how many times on this forum have you read, "I bought 3" or "I should have bought 3?" I want to have that same experience with the next device. And I accept that it's going to be more expensive, but if it can have a similar price-to-feature ratio, I might not have to think about it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing.
