No way. But I don't want to hijack the thread.

Maybe someone will write the book of this story, indeed interesting. Then again we are not in US West Coast, so perhaps not.

(it was even worse, acually, as the N810 was hardly more than a re-packaged N800... so when you buy an N810 now in 2009, it's mostly hardware designed in 2006 for the release date Jan. 2007).
You can explain this to the designers and engineers that made an N810 smaller including a hardware keyboard. Also to the ones that implemented the WiMAX antenna.

On the software side there was OS2008, Mozilla, Skype, Location, Modest, SSU, WiMAX support... Elephanta vanished as a release but the features moved to Fremantle.

The fact is, we haven't stopped a single day. You will understand better when the Fremantle and Harmattan steps see the light in full splendor.

And (to bring this back to topic) yes, I agree the E71 is a great product. It's motivating to work in a house able to ship a device like this.
