a) an N810 with a GSM radio and SIM card, with or without GSM voice, would have been great ... 12-18 months ago.
Today, it needs to be faster, have more RAM, have more built-in storage, and, for me, definitely needs to have GSM voice and SMS capability.
b) an HTC Touch Pro 2 with Maemo ... *drool*

Nokia needs to do something, but I fear they're gonna fall yet another year behind because the Maemo phone may not be ready yet. We've just been discussing the need for such a phone, and how that would fit with what we've seen. If the render and the photo we've seen in this thread are accurate, and this is going to be "just" the successor to the N810...
...then not only the shrunken screen but even more the three row keyboard is hard to explain.
If this is just a successor to the N810 with an added SIM card slot, then I think many N810 (and N800) owners will consider their current model better featured.
Three row keyboard as well, but that has the N810 as well. That's why I created a four row (numbers on top row) keyboard with one keystroke of 'www.' and '.com') keyboard definition for the onscreen keyboard.
Anyway, more RAM and a faster processor (and more internal storage RAM (> 1G instead of 256 MB)) would be desirable, but yet the N810 has more memory than the N97 as the latter has no virtual memory.

Err... noYou're far-sighted if you cannot focus on objects close to your eyes.
It's not a relation to an 'average' dioptry (unlike height, which defines tall and short as a relation to an average height).

Three row keyboard as well, but that has the N810 as well.

Correct.
Damn, thats a hell of a lot of eye related info and knowledge that I gained in this thread - in fact more than I know in absolute of the N900 itself.

As it stands, Nokia doesn't have desktop clients/applications to go along with this product. And they don't have compelling reasons for the average Joe Sixpack to use their upcoming phone.
If Nokia really would like to do this it should be matter of few months of work to make from Amarok great interface to its shop.
But someone needs to act on it. And judging how they practically gave up on e-book market without even trying...

Nokia has filed (link in finnish) for a new trademark "CSERIES". Could the "N900" be the first device in CSeries, maybe C900?
Maybe somebody could check if Nokia has filed CSERIES trademark in other countries too?

Cseries may be for the netbooks.
