Apple have been able to design slim and light hardware that is not overly disimilar in specification to that of the N800. Not since the 770 have Nokia achieved this, and I appreciate that Apple achieve some of their slimness and lightness of weight by compromising with a non-replaceable battery but that can only save them a few grams and perhaps a couple of millimetres, not enough to explain the differences between an iPhone and a N800/N810.

Nokia don't seem to be investing the time and money in aesthetic or hardware design as far as NITs are concerned - if they are, they're not getting value for money.
Again, they are not the same type of devices. They are not intended to be. And do keep in mind that the iPhone and iPods do not have hardware keyboards.

And Mil, with all due respect: you're expressing your opinion of style. Just as some love the 770 and despise the looks of the N800 (I feel the opposite). My *opinion* is that the styling of the N810 is fine. I'm not sure what else some people want style-wise. Different color(s)? Fancy graphics? Lights? What? Instead of vague bashing, why not describe specific ways that the looks could have been done better?
