The point was to make it detachable

integrated modules do not gel with the idea of detachable

Nice!

I was just telling a friend last week that I would like some type of small phone that connected to my data enabled tablet via either bluetooth or wifi. My idea being that you place and receive voip calls on the phone, but it pipes the call to/from the tablet which acts as the 'server'. This would make me happy. I have a phone that is small, and a tablet that is usable. One data only plan. Not sure if any current BT profiles can handle this task, or if a tablet could act as a wifi AP. For the latter case, there are those Accton SIP/ wifi phones that could currently do the job. The phone by itself could not place or receive a call. It's essentially a hardware user friendly interface to SIP on the tablet.

frankly, neither.

It must have BOTH: more than a 3 row keyboard, and GSM Voice.

So, How do we get the guys at Bug Labs together with Nokia/maemo?

Touch Screen module - multiple sizes
Radio modules - Bt, FM, Cell (pick a flavor / sim card)
Input module - track pad, track ball, keyboard
Storage -
Power -
....

Instead of one device to rule them all...
you have many small, upgradable pieces that connect and interact (wirelessly ) within a small area.


Viva la Modularity

Yeah, I remember the first Bug anouncement. My experience told me not to get excited. A company based on cool stuff for tinkerers and then charging an arm and a leg. Losers.

Personally, I'd like to see the next device be just like the n810, only with better specs, and raised keys instead of the current flat ones they use. Other than that, I see no reason to change what the n810 was, other than to beef up the guts of it.

See it positive.
EDGE is quick enough for simple browsing and internet radio and helps save battery compared to 3G.
However, EDGE sucks for most video streams...

I personally do not understand how some engineers reason at all.
people want true mobility a portable device that fits in the pocket but can serve as a phone some times, capable of running full Pim suites, office suite good browsing and rich multimedia, not UMPC, not netbooks but Tablet device, now apple is half way there nokia is half way, Palm with thier Pim on the way. what we need is bring apple goodies on the tablet with palm pim capabilities inside. this is not too difficult to do, some of these engineers must come to this forum to read what the consumers are after in terms of mobility devices.
