good memory, a hefty amount of storage 32GB + 16GB external micro SD – qwerty keyboard – 5MP camera .. Quad Band.

Ovi Maps instead of Google Maps? Where are the precious facebook and twitter apps?

Its good to see Nokia finally release a new breed of their communicator series, I just hope it won’t turn out to be another “average” phone.

What makes me weep is the reduction in screen size.

I’ve used the n810 and it is in fact a computer. When I didn’t like an app I just found another app and installed it. I could choose from about 5 different audio players, 3 PDF viewers, and so on.

But I really felt the 4″ screen on the n810 was already too small to read anything comfortably. Making it even smaller was probably necessary since they are positioning this as a phone. But what I wouldn’t give to have all this power and a 6″ screen!

This is by far the best. very powerful processor. It’s a phone and a small PC with mozilla browser! Linux OS is debian based which means it opens up the door to almost all linux applications! Plus the API is compatible with windows and mac which opens up more doors to different applications!!!!!

I love tablets personally. For some peoplre the plan that comes along with a smartphone is too much. I get a tablet, which is free to use.

And in an age of expanding wifi, you can use it near everywhere.

FYI I typed this on my Nokia N810.

yes, bluetooth, it tethers, thats how i use my nokia n800 tablet in the field. works with even cheap cell plans, and when there’s wifi, you’ve got some speed. as for the wimax et al, depending on how you get it, it could be a good idea.

its an extremely convenient, useful device. it takes the place of 5 other gadgets i would be carrying otherwise.

this blogger is a cynic!

I have owned the N700, N800 and now the N810. Nokia has lost me on this one. The screen on the other devices were a bit too small. To go with a smaller screen makes no sense. I guess I will be looking at the LG XNote when it comes out. The “perfect” screen size would be between 5 and 6 inches.

So long as they keep the phone out of it, this is destined to fail. I’d get one if I could put my GSM chip in it.

My N95 sucks as a “computer” when I’m on the road. I’d love to get this N900 if I could make and receive calls on it. I won’t take my GSM chip out of my phone to use it in this thing if that meant that no one could call me while I was using the tablet. I’m also not going to get two phone # and two data plan when I’m already on a 6 GB data plan for tethering.

Get your head out of the ground, Nokia, and put in a phone. Then there’s a good change this might succeed. Since this tablet is much bigger than you’re average handset, it puts it in a different league. Are you afraid it might cannibalize your handset sales? Right, I suppose the risk of the entire product failing is better than cannibalizing the sales.

I do application support for Unix system and it means being on call for clients. I don’t want to be restricted in my home when I’m suppose to be available for emergencies. I know many people in my field are in the same position. If I get a call while being at a beach with my friends, being able to just fire up VPN and a shell on this tablet would mean love.

According to your own sources, it actually *IS* a phone

Looks great, Meamo will rock with that cpu and flash 9. Shame about the screen size but hey…

Full data support without being true phone means all the iphone kiddys wont buy one, it will be quite exclusive. Plus i can walk into the Nokia store and buy one without selling my soul.

My E71 and N810 is boring me now, bring it on.

Since when is apple in to this market? iphone a net book?? you gotta be kiddin me. That device has no possibilities at all. With maemo, you can even attach your USB flashdrive. Show that in your iphone.

If it does have a GSM radio, I could see this being offered at a subsidized price and a discount fee for data only use. Kind of like the netbooks with onboard 3g, or the Peak email device.

Lol.
You might encounter the “banned 1″(you guessed it yeah,” That” one) over there. Don’t think any 13 year old will be there. Only grown ups are looking for berry’s.
Stevie (-apple fanboy)might be there too. He would surley want to check out the device that he hates so much but dosent know what it actually is.

Seriously are we sure this does not have a GSM module in it?
I don’t understand the logic…
