I'm pretty sure this has been posted somewhere before...

I want an n800 refresh. What does that mean? Let's quote the n900 (Engadget).

The n800 is an internet tablet. No cell phone radio, low internal storage, two SD card slots... and the dumbest camera in history.

In other words, the n900 is too expensive. I got the n800 because Windows Mobile went "cell phone" and I didn't want a "cell phone" internet device. I came to the NIT to get away from the "cell phone" craze only to have Nokia go charging off thinking they can take on the iPhone! (I just have a simple phone by the way)

In other words, an n800 refresh should have (in comparison to the n900)...

-- Similar size screen (larger than n900)
-- Keyboard doesn't matter, can have or discard
-- The built in memory NEEDS TO BE SMALLER. I wouldn't ever use that, I would prefer to save money and have two card slots.
-- GPS needs to be excluded if it significantly increases cost. I can buy a Bluetooth one if I really wanted it
-- (more things on the n900 not mentioned can stay)
-- The 5 MP camera should get tossed for a much lower quality one. I don't want a camera necessarily, I want lower cost.
-- The "ARM Cortex-A8, up to 1GB of application memory, and OpenGL ES 2.0" is what makes the new Maemo not work on older devices. This is needed in a "refresh" lest we get left behind on the Maemo OS track.
-- No Cell Radio! This increases the price.
-- In short, LOWER PRICE

For a PDA tablet thingy I want kinda large so I can browse the web in the house. For a phone, I want tiny so I can make calls only and cheap so I don't have to worry about protecting it. The PDA always gets a very good case and protection. So, what I want from each device is completely opposite. The phone must have great battery life, the PDA thingy not so much, the phone needs to never crash, the PDA isn't as vital in this regard, etc etc.

I like the n800... and it is a dying breed. Reminds me of the Dell Axims a lot... they were doing wonderfully until Windows Mobile went "cell phone" and Dell dropped out of it.

If it is a "cell phone" choice, the Nokia E63 looks tempting to me. However, I'm likely to skip this and just find another device that is new, interesting, and not a cell phone if possible... However, if "cell phone" is the way to go, then I go with whatever phone comes my way due to lovely carrier lockout, being on a "flex pay" plan at the moment, etc.

Ah well, maybe my n800 will last forever making this point moot. Time will tell...
