Jay: I picked up some sweet telephony hardware in Berlin when I was there for the last Maemo Summit:
(but at least it has external d-pad
)

A faster wireless connection that doesn't require a contract with a service provider would also be dandy and although the screen is physically smaller, I consider it an upgrade in quality and it retains the WVGA format of my locally stored HTML. The loss of a d-pad means that I won't have access to 5 mappable software functions at the push of a button but perhaps the keys on a keyboard can provide for this.
For me, anything more or less than this in an N900 would involve trade offs and may not be worth the added expense. In that case, I'll keep the N800 and move on.

At some point, devices that were simply 'phones' stopped existing (outdoors at least).
Jay, I once saw a hybrid of ^these two still in use in a bar. It was mounted on a post and had all the features of the older one with the addition of a rotary dial mounted below the mic... I have been looking for one ever since.

I know we have been *****ing (complaining) about the lack of a D-Pad - traditionally a directional key functionality which looks like a DPad.
But what if it has one of those new fangled Optical mouse which looks like a D-Pad but is not (see this video for what I mean). And Nokia uses them in a few models already I believe.
I don't knoe if this has been already considered as a method of input and hardware scrolling function ?

The E72 has one of those optical mice instead of a dpad.
It's a neat idea, but the one and only optical mouse I've used was more jumpy than a mini trackball ... and I've grown to loathe having a mini trackball on my G1 (I otherwise love the phone, but I hate the trackball).

no need for it to be used as mouse (as default) - doesn't really make sense if the UI is finger based. What it would be good for is scrolling in webpages, etc.
And - it could probably be set (or modified) to mouse mode for games and other OS.

(center is an optical mouse that senses relative movement of the thumb; border is a raised edge dpad, like the N810 or E71; each could be turned off globally and/or per-app)

does anyone here hold out much hope that the n900 internet-phone will just be a sister product to the n910 internet-tablet that most of us want?
