This thing is being fairly heavily marketed by T-Mobile in Germany as the 'Ameo'. Price is 500 euro bundled with their 24-month cellular contract.
Seems to be doing fairly well, due to the point-of-sale presence and marketing blitz (inserts in newspapers and magazines), mention in every computer/mobile rag...
Obviously the 640 width limitation and windows makes it lame-o compared to a 770/800 + bluetooth keyboard - for those with a clue(tm).

It has about 10x the mind-share as the Nokia tablets in Germany among those business types who have the pocket change to splurge on these gadgets. The 770/800 would have made a similar splash if they had a) bundles (with bluetooth kbds, for umts customers) with more german cell phone operators b) the marketing campaign and c) the point of presence in cell phone shops. I've carried my N770 into 4 cell phone shops and none of the salesdroids had ever seen anything like it.
As a rule, they were impressed... and surprised they hadn't heard of it. Obviously i'm a Nokia evangelist, but i'm just one person...
Cheers
