A mobile computer with no keyboard? LOL
Problem is, the n900 keyboard is not looking too hot either, from a n810 keyboard perspective.

I have to agree with Texrat.

The N900 is being released as a flagship device, and for all intents and purposes Nokia is a mobile phone manufacture. I understand that y'all want a new tablet sized device that runs Maemo, but that does not mean that the n900 should have been something else. Who knows the next step may be re-branding the tablets into a new series, or pushing them into "booklet"

Can not really compare to N900. N900 has phone function- different device intentions.

A agree about the keyboard, in spite of Nokia's rationale, the KB seems lacking.

From a longtime N810 keyboard user, the N900 keyboard is far more usable even with less keys. Get it into your hands and you'll see what i mean.

I think they should rename this device from Dell Streak to Dell Skidmark, lol.

Amen!

Honestly, I don't see what is so special about the Streak. If you really want something that big, go with a Archos or something. Personally, I'm trying to slim down the number of devices I carry and from what it looks like, the Streak doesn't fit anywhere in my future plans. With the n900 I'll be able to consolidate my n800 and e51 (except in special cases) . So my daily work bag will only have an n900 and a Asus 10" netbook.

Capacitive screen... Ok that is nice, but is it really the only reason why this device is even being considered?
