Which one of these form factors do you guys like better for a tablet?
Based on functionality 1st, appearance 2nd.
Keep in mind that they (Nokia) can make it look prettier than this black and white drawing.

Assume all have the same processor, the same ram, the same ROM, the same virtual memory, the same connectivity, the same OS (maemo 5 or 6), accept the same size and class of cards, and all are resistive screens.

Pick a first and a second pick.



For example

1) figure 1
Make comments here if you want such as, keep the keys spaced far apart.

2) figure 7a
Where does the stylus go?




Then if you want to say which one you would choose as a phone go ahead.

These images were pulled off of the uspto.gov website patent applications database and converted to jpg and uploaded to photobucket. There are 630 patent applications with the assigne name Nokia with the word device in the title. I only went through a couples pages of them.
patent apps 20090137279 and 20090059491

I'm curious what the majority of us would all pick and our reasons why.

I've seen many differing opinions on keyboards, memory cards, screen sizes, key placement, etc.. and since a lot of the users here would be considered "power users" (using the tablet to its fullest capability) I think this vote would be interesting.
