Maybe. But I don't want a netbook running Maemo. I have a netbook, it runs (very happily) full Fedora Linux.

I don't want a phone, smart or otherwise. I have to carry a crackberry (pearl) for work that I can't get rid of.

What I want is an upgraded version of my n800, _with_ hardware keyboard, and integrated HSDPA so that I can get rid of the Nokia 6120 that I currently carry for sole use as a bluetooth modem.

And to resurrect an earlier question: I use my n800 for satnav, browsing (tear), email (modest), music (canola), audio-books (pannuci), geocaching (gpxview), ebooks (fbreader). All full screen except pannuci which doens't support fullscreen.

I could do all this on my crackberry with it's pitifully small screen, but I DON'T WANT TO. I want to do this on a device with a good screen. I was hoping for an increase, not a decrease. I might just sacrifice decent mobile browsing, and buy a dedicated e-ink ebook reader instead of the n900 - I wouldn't lose much functionality when combined with my crackberry.
