Hmm, I've just had a realisation: it doesn't look like my perfect device (in fact, it's moving away from it in terms of form factor) - but if I was offered one at the right price, it's still something I want.

Perhaps this is the most economically efficient step to attaining a similar device with a bigger screen.


YARR!

I think it's safe to say that you're preaching to the choir on that one.

Personally, I want the keyboard. Having used an n810 for a few weeks, I got a lot of use from being able to use pidgin to chat to friends, which I can't do on the n800 (can't see anything under the on-screen keyboard). I did the same on an HTC TyTN. But that's just me.

The problem is the choir is loosing faith. I think Nokia needs to loosen the ropes of its current evangelists. There seems to be two extremes of marketing:

Pandora: big promises, possible zero returns

Apple: no promises, instant returns

But Apple's approach treats their customers like impulse buying children in order create inflated margins. I would rather someone give me a nice, smooth long term plan that leaves little doubt. Then I could do long term planning. Sounds fair to me.

hhhmmm might be just me but I'm using Pidgin quite often on my N800, fullscreen with stylus-kbd. Works well for me. OK, you will not get as many lines of conversation at once on the scree but it is really usable.

I want you to have your cake, but not at the expense of me having my cake.

Me too. I think an N800 upgrade would be good for the community, but I wouldn't buy it.

For me, no physical keyboard = no sale. (And the 3 row keyboard might also mean no sale... I will probably have to play with one in the store to figure that out)

As I feared: the 3G modem made them phonify it. Small screen + dumbed down keyboard renders the device identical to exisiting competitors like the iPhone, G1 (+ its undoubtedly nice successor) and Pre.
Makes little sense when the predecessor fills a more unique niche as the one practical, affordable MID. (Remember that campaign of Intel's that seemed to go nowhere?)

Still some hope, though; this could easily be entirely fake.

You let me down
You told a lie
You broke my heart
And hurt me.
