Thats the way it is, yes, and that's what I do. I didn't buy the N800 because it lacks the hard cover, has hard to press, low quality buttons and looks like a toy for children. Don't like it, so I don't buy it.

The problem with this is that I do like the Maemo platform and the way Nokia invests in this business. I'd love to be part of it and get the latest developments in software. So sticking to the 770 forever is not an option.

I hope you can see where the disappointment comes from if there's reason to believe that a new device could be even one step further away from what you'd expect from an internet tablet instead of closer to the once so promising beginnings.

(You're right, though, saying that we don't know anything yet. Maybe what they refer to as "slide" is in fact a cover, not a keyboard )
