Held it very briefly but was summoned back to restaurant by the wife so did not get much play time (I cheekily snuck out in the middle of dinner).

The one thing that concerned me was the keyboard. I am very used to n900 and blackberry and can type pretty rapidly on them. With the few seconds I spent with the Tab I was kind of struggling. Most concerning of all was typing symbols. With the N900 virtually all symbols are available by pressing either alt or shift. So even if I have to type a symbol (which I often do) it does not really slow me down. With the Tab it looked like that could be an issue. Typing on screen as well could also be much slower than on the N900 keyboard. I am hoping I can adjust. Will also try out swype to see how fast that is.

Think I may go have a little play today and take the wife to try it out as well. If she likes it will make my decision easier. I would really miss having a device with an FM transmitter though to listen to all my music on the car stereo rather than just a few cds. Although the fact that the N900 media player lacks a random function makes it much less useful as an mp3 player than it should.

The 16gb of internal memory also worries me. I am used to 32gb with the N900 plus 16gb micro sd. If 32gb micro sd cards were reasonably priced I would not be bothered. Unfortunately they cost far more than double the price of 16gb. Hot swapping cards doesn't seem to appealing to me and I think I would probably even lose them doing that.
