Whack 3-row keyboard.

.Probably it will not make all this difference in usability and will help the device to differentiate a bit on the market

Left side ctrl is atrocious, though, for the reasons johnkzin outlined.
A note about right side cursors, though... I know from my use pattern I use the DPAD with my left hand as I have the stylus in my right. There goes Midnight Commander speedy use
I also used a slide-portrait mode in my ebook reader, where I used the DPAD to scroll content (far easier than the zoom keys)... that's gone as well, duh EDIT: On the plus side, at least they increased the space between the lower end of top slider part and keyboard, so it's easier to press the buttons in the top row. The buttons also seem a bit larger, but that might be an optical illusion as the rover itself is smaller than the N810...

If it's now completely finger-orientated, having your right hand free for the stylus shouldn't be a problem. I really like the stealthy face design, if it's capacitive and multi-touch, I'm sold.

Yeah, I guess it sucks for left-handed typers, but it's nice to have spacebar close enough to one thumb instead of too far away from BOTH thumbs as it is on the N810.

Nice nice nice... the box contains an AV-cable :-)
The pics also confirm the dual-LED flash.
Power button and zoom keys seem to be in very similar places to N810
Stylus not found yet (bottom right perhaps?)
Is the stand functionality given by the "ring" around the camera module?

I don't know if this has been posted yet, just saw it today at engadget.
