OMFG this device looks ugly as sin. Granted, it appears to be a VERY early prototype, but whatever maroon thought to put the D-PAD on the slide out keypad should be fired. I could stand to have the D-pad on the back side on the screen, but having it on the keypad section pretty much forces you slide it open to use it for just about anything. Although others may disagree with me, I don't want to sacrifice one bit of useability or functionality in order to build in a crappy chiclet key keyboard into an IT. I personally find no good justification for a keyboard 95% of the time and the other 5% of the time I have to hammer out a four paragraph email I would rather use a moderately sized bluetooth keyboard.
I earnestly hope this is not the successor device to the N800. Nokia really needs to get it in their head that what we want is a well supported PLATFORM, not a unpolished new product every year that as one commentator noted "resets the clock" and alienates users and 3rd party developers (who add much of the value to the platform) alike.
