Someone on one of those links (vague, sorry) reviewed FBreader on one of these things and they were ecstatic. So there is another reason to buy one -- as a book reader. I was a tablet user for a long time before I even started using the D-Pad, so I think I could live without it, though it is a handy thing. I'm hoping that the FBreader's handy next-page-with-hardware-button-click will work on the Q7, because that's an important FBreader feature. I'm assuming that the Q7 will continue to be available at or near $200. What a deal! Nokia, thanks for helping sell me on the Q7!
