That would be a great idea. I could care less about cellular reception. However i'd also be worried about the price. If they do release something like a N820 i'd imagine it would be around the typical 500$ range.

Theres three things that I hate about the N900(resulting in me not getting one) 1. Forced to buy a cellular plan. Most people won't mind but i'm a guy who hates having to pay for something for the next two years. I'd rather just pay an upfront fee and not having to worry about paying a cent for as long as I own it. 3. Small screen. I was really shocked that they stooped down to an iPhone sized screen. There goes all my movies, and browser experience.

I love the N810's large screen. Yes it could even be a little larger. Resolution isn't everything. Its also the size of the screen that decides if you can enjoy it for certain features.

Price. I did say that i'd rather pay upfront than pay a monthly fee for the next two years so if you weren't forced to buy a cellular plan than 500$ upfront wouldn't be that bad but 500$ with forced plans? Come on! This is a mobile media/internet device. Maybe the price will go down but I won't even consider a N900 in till the price goes way down or they release a version that doesn't require a monthly fee of any kind.

A N820 would be great. No cellular reception or at least a version that doesn't require cellular reception is the key feature that would make me buy one. Than again i'd probably prefer a N900 with no cellular reception.
