Any chance the Rover might come with a Haptikos touchscreen?

Since this is going to be the flag ship of Nokia high-end devices will it have a respectable Office suite? And by this I don't think about the clumsy OOo.org port from Debian. I'm thinking of a set of tools that are specifically developed for a handheld devices, such as Quickoffice, or M$ office. In order to be a successful N-series device, it has to have that, as well as powerful set of PIM tools, which both lacked on previous NITs.
And how about the latest news that M$ and Nokia entered a partnership, regarding bringing the M$ Office suite to Nokia high-end phones, such as E-series and probably N-series? Will rx-51 have M$ office?

True! I was trying to convince myself, I think - damn!
But the RX-51 is supposed to be a phone, the tablets at the moment are designed to be tablets, the phones are phones.
My point was saying have a look at this new phone, but you can't use it as a phone, seems a little strange.
It would make more sense if it was a tablet, as you can make full use of that, but there again this is blurring the tablet/phone worlds.
The definition of what a phone is and does is being redefined constantly. Maemo is one of the platforms trying to really push phones into the "multimedia computer" term that Nokia's been trying to use for their phones for years.
With the tablets... and this new device... I think they may have really done it this time.

But there again phone sizes have changed from the brick's of the 80's.
I guess it is getting confusing now, or certainly it seems for me!

I'm not sure how you're seeing it as a larger device when we already know it's going to be smaller than the N810.
