BAH!!!!
One of the things that was better about the N810 over the N800 is that it had a FLAT back, not a bulged back.
Yup. I _SO_ want a black N900 without a WWAN radio, and a Personal-Hot-Spot type companion device for the Wifi<->WWAN access. Hunchbacks are for whales and bell-ringers, not tablet computers.

From comparing the specification pages of the N810 and the N810 NameTooLong Edition, it appears the bulge only adds 2 mm. It's not that bad.
I _DO_ wish we could get all black N810's Non-WIMAX Editions though. With symbols in blue instead of amber. (black and blue! could called "N810 bruiser edition" ;-) )
So, how soon before we see variations of the N810 with UMTS and EVDO? :-)

If nothing else, it has the nondestructive OS update...

Interesting thing in the interview with Urho Konttori: http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=...p,articles,414
Desktop now supports the same Web Runtime (WRT) technology as the latest N95 update etc. Cross-polination from the more established, well-known and marketed communities should be interesting.

That was my reaction. "great, modest is only half baked, and they're already announcing bundling it into the OS".
Personally, I think Modest will be a good basis for judging how close we are to release.

Yeah, the bulge isn't that bad at all.
@aNoble:
There won't be any device subsidies with Xohm. You'll have to pay full price for any WiMax devices but the trade off is that Xohm won't have contracts.

@aNoble:
It's interesting to me that they seem to have a real partnership with Sprint XOHM. They even mention a "XOHM WiMAX activation guide" is included in the box.
I wonder you will be able to get the tablet at a discount if you sign up for service with XOHM, similar to cell phones.
That could be one reason for not releasing the price yet, and also the fact that they say they will only be available in areas where WiMAX is available.

I've had the bulge in my hands and it actually makes holding the device easier. Just try putting your hands to the location of the bulge of your non-bungy n810 and you'll see that the fingers kind of miss some support. The bulge is quite small, but supports the fingers quite well.

Wonder if my (currently unused) N810 developer discount would work on this tablet as well.
Yeah, yeah.... a guy can dream, can't he?
