Depending on the pants, I can fit my N800 in them, but it's not with loads of room to spare, and even in my side pocket, I have to remember to take it out when I sit down, lest the extra tightness cause my pants to split like the Incredible Hulk.
I envy those of you who have such copious amounts of space in their pockets

"Whilst I have my phone in my other side pocket, and my wallet in a back pocket."
I would say as a rule that world travelers do not put their wallets in their back pockets. I was in Barcelona for a few months and had close brushes with pickpockets trying to get my wallet in my FRONT pocket.
In my recent two-week cruise, to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Stockholm and Copenhagen, there were serious pickpocket warnings for each city.
So, after my Palm Centro and keys and walllet, I don't have room for a Nokia anything in my pants pockets.

I'm not sure about the press all "LOVING" it,
Boy Genius Report's article seems to question why they would bother making it: "Anyone excited for it or are we looking at another IT destined to be lost in a retail wasteland?"
NokiaExperts.com says that they like the idea of the tablets but haven't liked using them in the past due to the sluggishness of the processor; and asks if any of their readers actually use them.

It is amazing.
I love my tablet again thanks to it.

Further evidence that this is a Nokia-sanctioned leak to keep the community happy. This isn't talking about T-Mobile, it's talking about the growth in community at talk.maemo.org.
The complete text from mobilecrunch is:
"This documents all specifically and repeatedly mention “TMO” launch targets. We’ve never seen this stand for anything besides T-Mobile in this context, and everything still makes perfect sense after swapping out every instance of “TMO” for “T-Mobile”. As such, we assume that is what they mean.
Target launch dates, as of the beginning of this year:
* T-Mobile International: July 2009
* T-Mobile USA: August/September 2009
* Middle East, Asia, South-East Asian Pacific: July 2009
* Europe: October 2009"

But whatever it is/was/may be, it was kept much, much better hidden from the Nokia rank and file than Rover (RX-51) was.

If this leaked picture is actually of the tablet:
Then I really question the decision to shrink the display, as it looks like the current sized screen could still fit (based on the amount of space between the screen and the edge of the device).
