Apple prove the argument, "if it ain't broke why fix it, or in this case replace for something entirely new". Three generation of iphones only to differ in specs but, still have the same look that everybody has come to love it for. A very good lesson Nokia could have learned from Apple with the N810. On the outside it doesn't look that much different from the iphone/touch. The slide out keyboard and open software is the plus for me and why I bought one over the other. Now instead of continuing that trend that nokia had going when they made the n810 from the n800 and 770 before it, we are given the impression that they are completely dropping the device. They are scare shitless worried about their profit margins that they are giving up on innovation and creativity to just following the crowd. But, whatever! The only way i would buy the n900 phone, if I like it, is if it comes out on Verizon, which I am due for an upgrade that I haven't decided on.
