Slow down a bit there, now! I assume you already have a phone, right? Wouldn't combining the two into one mean you save money on the new phone, and probably use it more since it will be with you nearly all of the time? So if you have, say, an E71 or 5800 and an N810, you could sell them all and get this instead, and wait for the RX-71 in the meantime. I'm a gadget whore, and having the most powerful device available is a necessity I feel totally entitled to, and even being unemployed, I EXPECT one of these things in my hands the week its released. It was that way with the N90, N80, N73, N93, N95, N95 8gb, E90, and E71. I have an N97 on its way after a 2 month trial, and will have this thing too, as long as my criminal exploits and blatant broad daylight robberies are successful. LOL!

Many Symbian flagship users have this same attitude, and the phone heads will take Maemo to the next level. A phone is WAY more important than a web tablet.

THIS screen is small, but I think there will be bigger coming. I have to say, though, coming from Symbian, the N97's screen is enormous, and at 800x480, unlike anything I've seen! I would prefer a 4.1" screen, but I'm cool with 3.5".

It will have a stylus, and an onscreen keyboard, so I've been told. I think you should HOPE all tablets have a phone module built in for adoption purposes. Web tablets are projected as a 20 million device market annually at best, whereas smartphones will sell near 200 million this year alone! More sales mean cheaper prices, more apps, and a homogenation of the web tablet and smartphone, something no one else is even positioned to do.

Price will be the main factor in not getting one. I'll be surprised if here in the UK, it comes in at less than £450. I expect about £499 unlocked like the N97 at launch.

I'd also like a larger screen. the N800 and N810 have a nicely sized screen for me. Guess I'll be holding out for Mer then....

everyone calls this a web tablet, but it really isn't anymore. This is a smartphone, pure and simple, and being that, its functions have been extended far into the market, something no web tablet could do on its own. So lets kill the tablet talk, because this is no more a web tablet than the N97, afaics.

I notice the web tablet crowd is used to "free", and pretty cheap. I haven't paid less than $650 for a cellphone in nearly 5 years!

I'll buy it if my provider offer me a crazy contract like last time

Of course, the numbers should be good on a site devoted to Nokia. I would bet that many people who aren't buying wouldn't bother to fill in the poll. Most real people will wait to see reviews and what their friends say.

I think its just the anger in Symbian's UI not progressing enough in the touchscreen version and Nokia's removal of GPUs and features lately. Most everyone from Symbian-Freak (a community of young uber geeks similar to this one, which I'm proudly a contributing member of) is happy about the N900, and I even had a member beg me to post an article about it even though it wasn't Symbian related. Symbianites know the power of Maemo, many of us already having had N770s and N800/810s, and see our two OSes as brothers.

Well nothing works on at&t well around DFW, but you should really give TMO a shot. MUCH MUCH better, and more receptive to open devices. They'd be much bigger had Nokia supported the large contingent of N95 users back in 2007 instead of going with at&t. The N900 will help TMO surpass Sprint in a few years, and put the light on them for once.

I probably shouldn't say this, but it really depends on the chances to get a bit larger device. I'm using my tablet a lot with a external keyboard and I'm having some doubts about the screen size. So if a bigger device is announced in near future I'll wait for that. Othervice N900 it is. On the other hand if the bigger device comes out after I have my N900 I'll be pissed as hell.

I will laugh if Nokia launches this thing without any discount codes. I wish them the best of luck moving forward without their core community.
