For myself, even if the new direction for Nokia is a big disappointment, I would not exclude I could buy the new device. I am not worrying too much about the keyboard -- while I am using the keyboard a lot on the 900, I preferred tapping wth the pen on the 810, I am not sure why.

The problem is, my N900 is still almost new, I just have bought it in last July, when I felt the price was affordable, and I plan on keeping using it for a couple of years, still... especially if MeeGo gets released for it, and I get to tinker with it too.

So... I may get it, if it lasts enough in the market to let me buy it in a couple of years, or so.
