If the next NIT comes out as a n810 with more features and similar price tag, I would definitely buy it. I admit the keyboard on the n810 is a BIT more portable than an iGo, but to me I don't travel too much and am never to far away from a computer so that i can type a quick e-mail. I mainly use my n800 for music, bed-browsing, and the occasional cartoon's (Thanks Bunanson!).

But would u assume that the next os (firware) will still be supported by the current generation of NIT's??

I did not see any one mention what the "next one" is that they are talking about. The "next version" is an N810 w/ WiMax. This will likely have limited impact except for those of us in a WiMax area.
I would be surprised if they introduce the WiMax in August and then another model in November.

I have a new n810. I like many things about it, but the keyboard is, frankly, horrible. My thumbs ache from the extreme force required; the keys have no 'braille' nubbins, and because they are right next to each other, it is easy to hit the wrong key. Nokia really screwed up on the keyboard. The n810 keys are nothing like the excellent keys on a typical Nokia phone.
