It would seem reasonable if there was a space where a cellphone communication chip could be placed on the side like a memory card. This would allow the tablet to meet both markets in the low and high end user areas.

With Maemo there’s no need to waste time opening and closing different applications. This alone will give me excitement about the Nokia N900, share your opinions at http://www.Nokia-N900.org take care. The powerful processor lets you run everything smoothly and simultaneously.

I agree that this is not a tablet, The concept of the tablet will likely be driven by the new booklet line. I would not be surprised to see a "tablet" (touch screen/no physical keyboard)version of tablet coming out in the near term. The n900 is a phone with tablet spec's. It is aimed at setting the bar for the next generation of nokias high end phone. I think they are finally getting it that dumb phones are a lost market opportunity. So make all your dumb phones smartphone lite, think of the 5330 XM which is a mass market smartphone lite. decent browser, app store onboard memory sufficient to add lots of music and apps. When picked up by a carrier it is a free phone. The new high end smart phones will all be based off of this MID platform. If Nokia were smart they would attack the market on pricing (drop the 100euro premium with the goal to sell 100 euro in services (read apps) over the life of the ownership. anyway. lots of thoughts... @ daniel.

The screen was already squinty for the 800*480 resolution on previous generation NITs and now it is .6" smaller. They've done away with the D-Pad and other special control buttons and moved away from stylus input entirely. They've gone to a crappy 3 row keyboard. Call it what you want, but it definitely isn't a Nokia Internet Tablet anymore and is fundamentally too compromised for it to be a viable single pocket solution. I will stick with my N810 and N95 for now. Hugely disappointing. I’ve owned and been a daily user of all 3 Nokia Internet Tablets.

I take it everywhere for Web browsing, e-mail, and emergency terminal access to Linux servers I manage. My phone is a Sprint HTC Touch which I really like as a phone and messaging device, but Windows Mobile options for Web browsing and other things are pretty worthless. I'm sure I'd feel different if I was an iPhone user (love the iPhone, hate AT&T) or if I carried an iPod everywhere (between my phone and the N800 I have plenty of music). But the N800 gives me the portability I need with a wide range of applications. http://Rstoeber.com/blog/ As a long time owner of the N800 I can still say that I’m very happy with it.
