My point was saying have a look at this new phone, but you can't use it as a phone, seems a little strange.
It would make more sense if it was a tablet, as you can make full use of that, but there again this is blurring the tablet/phone worlds.

If anything that would be great. Better than capacitive for me, but haven't heard even any rumours of it having it.

Since this is going to be the flag ship of Nokia high-end devices will it have a respectable Office suite? And by this I don't think about the clumsy OOo.org port from Debian. I'm thinking of a set of tools that are specifically developed for a handheld devices, such as Quickoffice, or M$ office. In order to be a successful N-series device, it has to have that, as well as powerful set of PIM tools, which both lacked on previous NITs.
And how about the latest news that M$ and Nokia entered a partnership, regarding bringing the M$ Office suite to Nokia high-end phones, such as E-series and probably N-series? Will rx-51 have M$ office?

The device hasn't been announced yet, why would Nokia announce what third party software will ship with, or run on, it?

Ahh... I wasn't being serious of course! But it is something to think about.

There doesn't have to be a barrier there between tablet and phone. Look at how many devices phones have absorbed over the years. Did you have the same problem when phones added cameras? How about media players? GPS units?

The definition of what a phone is and does is being redefined constantly. Maemo is one of the platforms trying to really push phones into the "multimedia computer" term that Nokia's been trying to use for their phones for years.

With the tablets... and this new device... I think they may have really done it this time.

I agree that a proper office package is needed. That said, I'd love to see a proper mobile version of OO, since I use that on my desktop anyway.

I suppose it depends your definition of tablet. I would see this as a larger device, at the moment - one that targets ease of internet use.
But there again phone sizes have changed from the brick's of the 80's.
I guess it is getting confusing now, or certainly it seems for me!

I'm not sure how you're seeing it as a larger device when we already know it's going to be smaller than the N810.
