Given the push to sell the remaining N800s, shouldn't we have some N900 details by now?

It hasn't even been a year and the N800 is already tanking and moving on. How is this a good approach by Nokia to encourage people who bought the N800 as early adopters of Internet Tabletness to come back again?

Yes, are you saying that it would be preferrable not to come with new devices?

Nokia is a mobile phone company. New models get added and old ones dropped every few weeks :-)
(Don't bother about it - the N800 is an outstanding device that brings a lot of fun. An eventual N810 would probably have exactly the same OS as the N800, so this additional device only broadens the user- and developer base. Not the hardware is the problem right now, but the missing software and the tedious software development process)

How is it not?

And once the new device comes out, I expect the N800 to end up like the N770, obsolete. Just looking at all the posts of hopeless N770 users trying to go through endless hacks and programming to get the newer features and add-ons for the N800 just makes it even more depressing. But at least Nokia named it N770 for a reason, giving some clue about its intentions with the device.
