I think the use case is what matters and has to be explained to the users (via advertising of course).

Will just narate a short incident - yesterday I got locked out of my car with my car and house keys AND Cell phone (N95) IN the car. I couldn't call my wife who wasn't home or anybody. This was in front of my home in the parking space.

Luckily I could access the Wifi signals outside from my upstairs room and my trusty N810 (luckily it was in my shirt pocket) logged on nice and dandy.

So I used the N810 first to post a message to my friends and family on Facebook that I was locked out and if someone could help. My friend who saw it called my wife and got the AAA number (which I should have been carrying) and posted it to me.

I then used the N810's built in SIP call to call up AAA and request help ASAP - and that saved my day.

So I wrote this on the facebook thread and most of my friends who normally don't ever write to me - were agog with interest and wondered how I called out to AAA with my cell inside the car and I explained the tablet thingie to them and the built-in Skype and SIP calls. A lot of them were very impressed and actually showed interest in the Nokia tablet (and I conveniently mentioned the N900) after that.

So its these kinds of real use scenarios that get people excited - not just plain technological specs.
