Same thought here. I won't pay for a GSM radio that I'm never going to use, unfortunately.

I am interested in seeing how much of that front face is the screen, but judging by the Nokia logo and the speaker, it's probably a pretty big bevel. (From which comes the thought: is the case any smaller?).

I also get the scary impression that Nokia is positioning Maemo as a direct competitor to Android and Palm WebOS. While the platform is really nice and open, I fear it could get clobbered as a phone. (I guess what would save it is a really good development environment that makes it easy to port stuff, since porting desktop apps is where Maemo shines).

I can't wrong this too much, though. That camera is beautiful.
I'll just quietly sit here and cross my fingers for an N910 that strips the phone stuff, gives me a big screen and a four row keyboard. Maybe I'm just afraid of change
