The Chicago store folks were quite nice about it. It was not on display but I simply asked if they had one and they pulled it out from a "top secret area".
Glad to hear about Pixelpipe, that would certainly go a long way towards the integration I am looking for.
I did the like the device overall, but the fact that it is primarily designed to be used in landscape mode with the keyboard open, and the poor (in my opinion) feel of the keyboard, and lack of MMS is enough to make me wait.
I might still go for it after an update or two but not right away. I can only say that I was jones-ing for it before I test drove it, then was like, well, ok, I think I can wait, after I test drove it. I am sure it will still be a great device, especially if you already love Nokia devices. It is clear this device is an internet device first, and a phone second. To me, they should be at least equal.
The phone part for me is very important because I am on the phone with a lot with customers and really need that part to be rock solid, simple and easy to get to. My other concern along these lines, which I don't know how will pan out, is battery life. Being a little bit of a road warrior, I have additional concerns that battery life will be a bit short due to the overall power of the device.
I guess I want my cake, crumbs, icing and all. I do look forward to future updates though and am sure Nokia will only continue to improve this and their future devices on this platform.
