I tend to agree on some of the points about "competitors" to the N800/770 but I also tend to lean towards the reality of being able to walk into a store/shop and being able to purchase an item "off the shelf", and I guess this is where the lines tend to blur. We've all seen oodles of these "competitors" come and go but in reality how many have you actually SEEN in a shop in stock for sale ? That EM looks really cool but I highly doubt any Telco's would actually market that in the US, (except maybe for someone like Ampd) so probably you're looking at the $799 for that, so is a device that's twice the price still considered a competitor ?
