I'm still rather curious as to who exactly Texrat is since I've rubbed shoulders with them here for around a year now... but anyway, I digress.
Brand loyalty? This may be the silly kid with bright red spiked hair and patched up clothing from days gone by speaking here, but what exactly do these corporations owe you? You bought a product, a new one came out... your lips are quivering and your eyes are welling up because how dare they come out with a new product they intend to sell for more market share.
Guys. Your moms are supposed to call you 'slugger', pat you on the head, and give you a pudding pop when things don't go your way. Nokia will only give you the chance to buy something bigger and better and put more cash in their pockets.
I look at things from an impersonal level, because really, I'm not inviting the Nokia board over to dinner anytime soon. They brought a WiFi capable Linux based tablet to market. Right on!
Will I be getting an N800? Probably not. While the speed/memory card improvements are great, the lack of a case is a huge detractor as is the $400 expenditure so soon after buying the previous model. The webcam... I admit it, I'd use the thing. I just don't care if it's really there or not.
The 770 is running a flavour of Linux. Development for it will be going on years from now... look at the Zaurus.
