I'd go for an N800 personally (much less buttons and the dpad on the outside is win - I hate my N810's dpad and love my N800's one despite having scratched it up so much...).

I haven't tried this; but I would, personally, do it like this:

1. Have bootmenu installed so I can always get into rootfs via usb cable if something arises
2. Stop hildon-desktop from loading via init script
3. Load browser from init script making sure to run it using: "su - user -c browser"
4. Get wmctrl to make the window fullscreen
5. Build a custom libhildon that wont close the window when you hold escape:

             break;

             break;
+#endif
     }
 
     return GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (hildon_window_parent_class)->key_press_event (widget, event);

6. Rebuild libgtk and make gtk_window_unfullscreen a nop function so one can't unfullscreen the window via the hardware key. It's rather extreme though - one could just remap the F6 key to summat else.

Of course, the transition from theory to reality can be rather different...
