That things looks HUGE!
IMHO the difference is more than justified by the much larger screen and full QWERTY, though looking at the pics it seems they could have shaved a cm or two and still accomodate those.

What about the Ocosmos OCS1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTtm9iGihc
Display: 4.8" Capacitive 1024×600 screen
Storage: 32GB SSD
Wifi: 802.11 b/g
Controllers: OMOS Key Interface
GPS included
USB 2.0 port (full size) and USB Mini
Camera: 3.0mp on rear. 1.3mp on front
Audio port 3.5mm
Micro SD card slot
HDMI out port (via micro-connector)
The only problem is that it is kinda big and it runs Windows, but you should very easily be able to put Ubuntu or Fedora on it. Pricing is unknown. The thing also has keyboard.
Otherwise, thank you for sharing: looks big (like you said), but promising!

Errr, then why not? The N900 seems to fit the specs well. Except maybe for the "Moderate, affordable price" bit...

I agree. My tired eyes would appreciate a screen tthat is about the size of the entire N800 face. Maybe 5.5 inches diagonal.

BTW, would anybody happen to know of a support forum for the M528? I'm seriously thinking of picking one up... especially now that FF support is being dropped for the N810.

Wow! $364 isn't a bad price at all! Thank you! If I didn't just get a G2 and a new laptop, I would seriously look into this. I guess life is all about timing.

I did some more research, and unfortunately, support is pretty much dead for these devices. 
That things looks HUGE!
For the lack of a proper reference point and no convenient rulers in the photo (not a FCC photo, lol), I'll go based on the iphone in one of the photos.
Assuming that's a iphone 4th gen...that's roughly 4.5x2.31x0.37".
Mentally rotating the iphone 90degrees and extrapolating, I'd say the SH-10B has a good inch, inch and half width more than the iphone. Flipped open you are looking at a height of about 1.3x times the portrait height of the phone, and looks to be just under twice as thick.
So my crude estimation is 5.85x5.25x0.60" flipped open. The height of each half is about 0.5" more than the iphone. Closed I'd guess 5.85x3.63x1.20". *grabs a ruler* The N810 is ~5.00x2.89x0.52".
As far as pocketablity concerns go the closed height is 3/4"+ which would just be higher up in a pocket and thus is largely not a concern. However the closed width of nearly an inch could be hit and miss depending on the size of the pocket. Plus the thickness is like carrying two N810s in the same pocket.
I'd group the SH-10B in a category (size-wise) between a MID (N810) and UMPC.
It's definitely an interesting device and the driver lock-down situation is gonna make or break it. (from our perspective not it's marketability)
