Wow. Very pretty. I can't wait to see what it'll cost me through T-Mobile.
I like the new kickstand. It took me a few minutes to figure out where it was coming from (the lower half of the camera bulge). It makes for shallower angles (I prefer the "more upright" angles of the N800 and N810), but more importantly, it doesn't obscure things like the USB port at all.
And the aesthetics of both the device and (what we see of) the UI are _amazing_. Beautiful. Great promo videos too!
I still have to wait and see how I feel about the screen size (though, it's similar size to my G1's screen, but much better resolution, so I'll probably be fine with that), and the keyboard. As I said a while ago, the keyboard will probably make or break the sale for me :-}
It says "Synchronize with your work calendar" -- my work calendar is Oracle Calendar. Does that mean it'll have SyncML for calendar?
(yes, I see the super-imposted Exchange thing there; still Nokia says it'll sync with my work calendar...
).
Seriously though: SyncML for Calendar (Oracle Calendar and GooSync for Google Calendar)? SyncML for Contacts (GooSync for Gmail Contacts)? Both are rather important to me. Something like Gmail Notifier, too?
Bluetooth profiles? I see headphones, but what about FTP, DUN, PAN, BIP, HID? (only, unlike the N800 and N810, I would assume DUN and PAN would be as the "server/modem" and not the "client")
Last, that REALLY does look like a stylus well down in the lower corner (below the headphone jack). yes? no?
