It'll be a very small round.

Eldar told that you're free to install apps into 32gb part. That's just something like "system" partition.

Looks nice. I'm surprised the top-right X button to close an app doesn't look very finger friendly, though.

Ditto... I'm still not impressed. Also.. WTH is it with the SIDE speakers lately (N810)? I still really prefer the N800's DPAD and speakers on the face. Screw the ipod flush face of uselessness.

hmm, so how easy will this thing be to "jailbreak"?

and it seems on have to pop the cover to get at the micro-sd...

oh, and whats that area next to the camera button? black square thing...

and finally, the UI looks like canola had a bastard child with hildon (not surprising me at least given how many fans there seems to be about canola, given the latest gsoc projects, it may well replace hildon desktop even on diablo). Still, that app switcher looked nice

(kinda like the frequently used pages of the chrome homepage)

Two questions:

1. Is this thick? Kind of looks like it.

2. Will it be available without phone features/contract?

Maybe what he meant to say is that we are assuming that they are zoom buttons. I can't clearly make out the "+" or "-" either. Or maybe they are volume +/- buttons.

My 5800 sounds best when placed on a desk. I think it's possible that the side speakers are designed to reflect off a more solid surface. The quality is amazing compared to my previous phone. (Or then it's just a lucky side effect)
