Screen size may well be a showstopper for many people.

That half inch is not important if you don't read much on the device, makes it less of a computer and more of a phone. It will be nice phone, but there are better tablets around.

that also usually means that "an unlocked non-subsidised model" is hard to come by for quite some time (unless you live in France I believe) and is also a damn sight more expensive!
Personally, i don't think I care anymore. I'm happy with a very small phone and a separate larger (4 inch) screen device to browse the net and watch vid content. If I wanted a phone in this form factor I'd have hopped on the iPhone bandwagon a long time ago. I'm just really, really disappointed that Nokia are hopping on it now and it seems doubly foolish for them to have waited such a long time to do it too.
From innovators in the NIT form factor they are now imitators in the iphone class, in which apple has a wild head start.
The only funny thing to possibly come out of this will be an apple iTablet to come out very soon, taking the NIT form factor and fixing all the software probs, and then to see Nokia take another 18 months chasing that tail...

As for memory, the current limit for omap3-based devices is 256MB RAM. There's 512MB RAM in sampling, but even TI themselves haven't started testing that yet. It's very unlikely that any production device could have more than 256MB this year.
Benson: I'm already always holding my N800 at my near-focus limit, so wether the difference is 10% or 37% doesn't matter - no can do.
