LOL yeah I saw the outside update. Thanks, I think.

Anyway, you do have a point regarding the dpad. However, given the immensely improved touchscreen responsiveness and such, I don't think it's a big of a loss as many make it out to be. And the 3 row keyboard doesn't bother me a bit, personally..but perhaps I'm just weird. It's a HUGE step up from the T9 I have on my N95 or the virtual-only keyboard I'm stuck with on my N800 And since my N800 doesn't really fit in my pockets that well, I rarely have it with me unless I have a very specific purpose for it in mind (taking a wireless survey, traveling, etc). I've got friends who have a N810 who are the same way. What use is a Dpad if you find yourself never taking the device with you? Much better to reduce the size a tad, integrate all the needed functionality, and have something that you'll actually use outside the house (you know, that whole "mobile" thing..)
