My Votes:
1) Screen Size -- One of the N800/N810 strengths is the screen size, they should have kept it.
2) D pad placement (meaning "there is none"?) -- definitely bad. The Nokia Mako does it right :-)
3) Device Size -- I want a generally N810 size device.
4) Keypad -- Give me 5 rows, or give me ... well, not death, but, yeah, similarly strong emphasis here. Qwerty keyboards without dedicated number rows

I didn't vote for Carrier locking ... because, while I would prefer something that can work with both T-Mo and AT&T, I'll be happy with a T-Mo device (that's my current carrier). And, I didn't vote for the battery, because I'm not sure what the actual/total battery life will be on this thing (it isn't mentioned in the specs on that page, that I saw).
(I now have to admit that I've just seen a 4 row qwerty keyboard I can respect: it's on the HTC Fortress, for AT&T -- it still has a dedicated number area though, off to the right side of the qwerty keys, sort of like a full desktop keyboard, only thumb size; there's a picture on
