the only complaint is a screen of 4.65 inches. if it has a bezel which is 1mm thick i'll manage, otherwise people will think me a pervert with that thing in my pocket :P
Actually, as I understood it, since it's running Ice Cream Sandwich, it's not supposed to have any buttons anymore (ala Honeycomb style UI move to remove buttons).

Also, I walk about with a 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab in my pocket all the time. So far, I've never had anyone say they even noticed it. Actually had several Verizon guys try to walk up to me to sell me on tablets whenever I peruse them and then have to show them that I'm already carrying one and listening to my podcasts (since I'm usually wearing my Motorola S305 bluetooth stereo headphones while I walk about the shops).

I'll bet it won't be cheap either, though, but I get the sense it'll still be cheaper (and far better specced.. coming out in a couple of months, possibly) than the N9. It's an incredible shame that Nokia concentrated so hard to lock it down with closed-source and TC/DRM, instead of investing those resources toward getting far more MeeGo compatible open-friendly and competitive components to at least be able to claim to be better than Android or anyone else's offerings.
