As long as the n9x0 is "not a phone" you will still need a shiny 3g+ device in one pocket anyways, you might as well tether. This will provide you with all the access you need and be future proofed ( especially if Nokia used it's weight on the N series phones to make tethering easier * hint hint * ).

No, you won't; if I had data connectivity on my N800, and elected to have a phone as well (not sure I would), it would probably be a watchphone, which typically aren't 3g+; the need for 2.75/3g goes away. I don't know that my outlook is typical, and I'm sure Nokia's plan wasn't to triple the market for Korean watchphones, but some people will go with cheap or no phones.

Because currently usually smartphones are used for 3G connectivity with laptops and nettops on the rise for usage with 3G connectivity. If your NIT provides you [the] features a smartphone nowadays provides you (think also about e.g. PIM) then you won't need a smartphone anymore. This saves you cost on otherwise buying a smartphone, giving your purchase of NIT ('900') more value. At worst, VoIP doesn't work well, and you'd need a (simple) phone to phone with. Because you won't need 3G for it (NIT already has it) nor many other smartphone features (NIT already has it), this would potentially be a mere cheap investment, again, giving value to your NIT purache.

Nokia used to provide this with the 770 .... Then they decided typical tablet users never leave their homes with the tablets, so its no use protecting the screen.
