Sounds like a business plan to me.

Oh boy... I'm having way too much fun with this (literally lmao)

But you know what? We're laughing now, but maybe in just a couple years we'll be able to get quad core chips for under $100 ....

The quad-core ARM chips running at 1ghz which were announced this past week are slated for release in 2010.

I'm seriously sick of all your negativity. It's clear that you expected miracles and to have your quad core CPU on the go for nothing. If you hate your purchase so much, just go away and stop trying to bring the rest of us down.

Sorry everyone... it had to be said.
Jay, I hold a strong opinion on things because I hope that it will find its way back to the developers/marketing people of this product. We all know that Nokia employees, journalists, etc read this website who are directly related to its production and planning.

I love gadgets, I love toys, and I love useful items that make my days easier to deal with. Id rather say, out loud, what many users on this board feel. And, from the look of the poll so far, it seems many share at least part of my opinion.

So why do I get angry? Simple, because companies dont make the best product they can. And I hate saying that Apple seems to be the only one who gives a crap. I dont like Apple, but I respect what they're trying to do. They're trying to make technology easier to use.

Take the Nokia N95 8g for example. It has an amazing list of features, and Ill never buy it. Why? Because in order to put the bigger screen on it, they had to reduce the navigation cluster even further. They've got 10 buttons squeezed into the space of a stick of gum. Honestly Nokia, are you kidding me?

look at this for example: http://europe.nokia.com/A4142117 (Nokia 6131 phone)

under tech specs, they have this listed:

"Clearly separated keys for easy dialing and messaging"

Amazing. Then they totally forgot about it.


If you dont get mad about poor design, its because you've never used a great product before.

I just don't have the cash to pay $500 on a device, even if I'm planing on doing some dev work for it
current market

N800 $240
BT keyboard$?
BT GPS $50

The N810 will discount RAPIDLY to $240 + BTkeyboard + $50 + $50(for being a new toy).................Yup, there is my scientific calculation or crystal ball for the N810 real pricetag.

Routing is also free, only voice and traffic has to pay.

You get few days free trial...

I guess everybody is reading from the wayfinder service that applies to the N800, it is confusing at best.............
