So let me understand: we will have on-board HSPA, but we'll still need to get around with two devices and (probably) two chargers. Moreover, we'll be forced to subscribe a second plan for data on the NIT.
So where's the advantage? Ah yes, we'll spare some bluetooth juice...
mmm... Does it sound so convenient?

I'm doing an average of just a voice call per day (or two). I would be VERY glad about having everything in the NIT and finally leaving the phone at home.

the transformation from mole to gan to raving n8x0 eating monster seems kindof apt

the smiling face kinda fills in the ??? in the underpant gnomes plan.

I'm (mostly) lurking this forum since long time, and I read many times people complaining about your attitude or tone.
You may keep believing they're all stupid trolls or you may start to wonder why this happens only and exclusively to you. It's your choice...

You don;t have to buy an HSPA card, you can indeed continue to use Bluetooth if you so desire. Personally the two cards fits nicely as I have no data on my mobile phone plan but can get a HSPA card for ~£5/month so I understand.

I don't really want my tablet to be a phone, but to have an always-on connection will be great and really useful.

YMMV of course

lol perfect...when you think GA is being rude to you look at that smiling picture and your day will brighten up immediately.
(GA does a lot of work for the community for free so he is much appreciated by many of us)

two devices, chargers,... yes, most likely. the same way my digital camera and my tablet are two devices and have their respective chargers each. nothing extraordinary here.

2nd data plan: probably no. i have my HSDPA-phone with me, anyway, and as long as i can connect via bluetooth (and i hope a lot i still can), i don't see why I should subscribe to a 2nd plan. so it's nice to know I could insert a SIM if I wanted, but I guess I won't. (depends on what A1 offers, though. if it's really, really cheap, why not?)

One thing is completely out of the question, though: that a tablet could ever replace my phone. too big, too expensive, breaks too easily, can't be with me all the time. These facts won't go away even if Nokia adds GSM voice calls.

You make voice calls with your tablet (skype, gizmo). You have a SIM card in your tablet. You have HSDPA on the box. You cannot make voice call through your SIM plan. That's doesn't sounds logical to me.

You're in Austria too? I've A1 as well. Doesn't seems to be so data-oriented so far.

Me, and at least another poster in this thread would leave our phones at home. As you said, it's nice to know I can make that call if I need.

Given the current roadmap/schedule for an "N900" and the development of the mobile market right now, who knows what they'll offer when the N900 is out. (After all: A1 is going to launch HSPA+ in june 2009. They'll have to support this launch with a more data-oriented portfolio.)

(Writing this I'm beginning to wonder if the N900 will support HSPA+...)

The kid in The Omen smiled, too.

Actually there was a poll, and I got picked as an egotistical jerk too, so there.
