About the devices to come with Maemo inside... trust Nokia. B) If you liked the progress 770 --> N800 --> N810 you are probably going to love what comes next.
Ooo... ouch. I mean.. going from OS2006 to OS2008 hasn't been awfully impressive. It's felt like incremental upgrades with only little changes here and there and a little better performance.. with some aggravating "features" thrown in (unlocked-down home applets, no more stylus vs finger menus, etc.) that probably would have been fine if they were OPTIONAL instead of forced on us, etc. As I've said elsewhere, "All new features are good features, as long as they're optional."

More importantly, 770 to N800 DID impress me enough to make me go out and buy the N800.. it was a magnificent jump. Your marlet-speak works perfectly there. But N800 to N810 didn't impress me in the least.. and N810 to N810WE is woefully unimpressive.

Your market speak would make perfect sense in the 770 to N800 jump, but beyond that it loses a lot of its punch.

Thank you! I've been saying that over and over in many different ways and it relates in every element of the product from the hardware to the software to the customer support and warranties. I've had a very mixed experience with Nokia so far, lately leaning toward more negative in most respects. I would LIKE to feel more brand loyalty but it's difficult lately.

That's crazy talk! It can't be done! I want one too!
