(my guess is some kind of integrated qwerty keyboard)... I just hope we continue to see updates to the OS2007 or at leat some degree of backwards compatability with the next OS.

Honestly I would just love to see something newer than Flash 7, would be nice to be able to stream my xm satelite radio from the n800 like I can from my cellphone or laptop.

Hardware abstraction seems to be a key development area for Nokia and has appeared on recent slides of Maemo/IT OS development so I think Nokia are taking seriously the backward compatability aspect for the future. Whether it's too late for the 770 remains to be seen, but I have hopes that the N800 won't be dropped as quickly when the next device arrives.

As for being stuck with Flash 7 - blame Adobe.
