I look forward to seeing some screenshots of the new OS and applications running.

Though the N800's specs sound more like what the 770 "should have been," sadly I find the 800 quite "esthetically challenged" in comparison with its slim, classy black-and-grey predecessor. The 800's curves and color look outdated and kind of nerdy to me. Despite its specs, I personally don't see myself wanting to carry around a device like this.

In addition, I think it's a shame the hard slip-cover has disappeared. This made the device really portable. But I guess it will create a larger market for more durable cases via Brando, Proporta, etc. (which of course implies additional expenditure).

The lack of a built-in stand has never been a major issue for me, because the only time I need one is if I'm using the 770 with a keyboard, and my Stowaway Bluetooth KB has a perfect built-in stand. Though it's true that if I wanted to remove that stand in order to use the KB with my recently-purchased Samsung Q1b, it would be useful if the 770 had a built-in stand.
