I'm not sure I understand this. Android would be a ripoff with updates, while Nokia's lack of updates and support isn't a ripoff? Am I misunderstanding what you meant?

Go with something like the Viliv N5: http://www.pocketables.net/2010/06/review-viliv-n5.html and put any OS on it you want.

This isn't bad.. but kind of bad on battery, heat and size. I'd still rather get an Android tablet or phone, at this rate. Personally, I'm finding I really LOVE the Samsung Galaxy Tab (at 7-inches) for everything I HAD been using my N800 for: EXCELLENT battery life, not a phone (leaving my phone full charged far longer), HUGE, sharp and bright screen, great Bluetooth support (with A2DP, which was awful on the N800), optional keyboard dock that charges at the sametime(or else bluetooth mouse and keyboard so long as you avoid the Verizon and Sprint versions). On the downside: I truly wish they had used full size SD cards (I hate microSD cards). Beyond that--I've had no complaints, coming from an N800 myself.
