Probably some future form for Nokia's S60 touch UI.

it's just a patent application for a concept, not an FCC filing for a new model. if it's granted they can pretty well use it in whatever size suits them, add a d-pad and buttons, etc.

Agree, N800 was on my ToGet-list until I saw rumours about new one, perhaps I could wait for about 1 month after the release of N810 to see if it's worth to wait few more months for the next one.

fpp: I was wondering that. I realized it was more of a patent application regarding movement / function, but wasn't sure if the keyboard just represented a cluster of input devices (buttons, switches, etc.), or if it had to show a rough actual layout.

IANAL either, so just a guess :-)

The illustration is just that, what really matters is the description text in the patent application. I tried to look at it but all that legalese made my head hurt

I thought this looked kinda similar, was this ever made? Its from 2004

i wouldnt buy it

if you notice closely
the camera is on the side [weird place to put the camera]

and in order to use the whole device you have to basically turn and flip it.... for example the screen resembles tmobile's sidekick so it will either slide up or flip to reveal the keyboard. also to use the camera u need to twist the side panel. making the device look bulky with an extra piece sticking out.

has anyone else noticed this flaw?

jacexx, there is a minor flaw in your font size and color choice, but thats just my opinion.
Tone it down a bit bro.
No need to be flashy. Plain old sentences and proper punctuation and capitalization will do.

Much better jacexxx, thanks !

For years, my brother never bought anything because something better would always come around. Took him 6 years to finally buy a VCR. At that time he did have the finest B&O available, but in the meantime he used my Blaupunkt (this was in Europe). I guess my not-so-subtle point is that there will always be something better coming up. Like the N810, while I'm still messing around with my 770. For me, the 770 fits the bill perfectly, and I'll upgrade when something new comes around that has features I desperately need. Until then, I'll be staring at the beautiful green grass on the other side of the fence while sitting in my inflatable wading pool playing with my 770 (not a euphemism).

But it's fun to speculate, isn't it?
