Wow, the picture of it in his hand looks eerie... just like a 770!

On the downside, the lack of built in WiFi is a killer. I hate the USB WiFi stick. Its such a good looking device and then you have to plug the the stick in. I don't know why Raon thought they should leave it out. Mad. The same goes for Bluetooth. Without Bluetooth, it will seriously limit it's use in a car.

You'd get some strange looks carrying that thing around in your pocket [that is if it even fits].

480g = really "heavy weight" handheld device. It's about 2x N770 or N770 + bluetooth keyboard

Yup. Its an extremely dense device. However, remember that this device is shipped with larger of two possible batteries. The small one saves 130g and a fair bit of size.
Here's a pic with the battery off to give you an idea of the size of the processing unit.
Howver the lack of built-in wifi is a pain in the arse. Raond Digital have told me they are considering this for an upgrade. I hope its quick!
More in the gallery
And the full review is available now.

...no surprise here. I hope this reinforces the value of the 770 to you. What Nokia has done for $350 is nothing short of phenomenal.

Clarification: When I went to the link Dynamism emailed me, the price was $999. I checked again yesterday and the price was $879. This new price is more in line with what I expected.
I'll refrain from debating your assessment of the 770.
