But why do you want to switch from BT thumb board to phone? Why not the two working at the same time?

What I fear is that you can not have at the same time on BT:
- The N800 paired with the phone for control (start / stop com, edit contact, send SMS)
- The phone paired with the N800 as "BT keyboard"
- The N800 or a BT headset paired with the phone as "BT headset".

Hey Nokia, this thread ROCKS!
Thanks for the critique, and I think I know what you're getting at. I'm gonna sketch up another concept soon too. A clamshell keyboard/mobile phone is a good idea. I like the E70 design, but I think it could be simplified a bit more. Stay tuned for my next sketch...
