Actually this was my last hope. (Only I could live with the larger variant to have the full phone functionality, too. It's not all that bad to
be able to
put the SIM card in if you want to.)
The N8x0-screen was close to perfect, just a little bit too small. 5" might be
it
.
OTOH: The whole Fremantle UI is designed around the idea of small screens and restricted use cases. It's
made for
a phone with twitter and text messaging, not for a portable computer with Abiword, Xchat and Gnumeric. So what use would it be to have a perfect 5", full keyboard, d-pad included,...-hardware running Maemo5?
Imagine those large "menus" on a 5" display. Wouldn't that look strange? And wouldn't you want to use this 5"-device for things that require more complex user interfaces?
