For what its worth, I also agree that the screen size is what I want/need in order to properly run some of the apps that I want to run. So, please, not smaller

I do, however, agree that a smaller overall device would be great. That means much (?) less space for the frame around the screen. Would it be feasible/practical to have all the buttons on the 'edge' of the unit, similar to the power/zoom buttons? I suppose it might get a bit awkward for finding a comfortable 'holding' position unless this was done properly...

I only have an N800, so I don't know if the N810 has a nicer shape (it probably has), but having 'tapered' edges would also be great (the N800 edges are quite 'boxy').
