On the other hand, Nokia's ultraconservative approach leaves something to be desired. I know there's a respectable middle ground between the two extremes.

Well it IS overpriced, even Palm had the good sense to cancel the Foleo at the imminent release of the E PC. This thing shouldn't cost more than $80 over the n800. Who do they think they are, Nokia the brand name means nothing in America.
And you're telling me $500 is too much????? HOW

I've read both articles.. his main argument "the IT is not a phone" and you need to buy one to connect from everywhere is plain wrong: whoever is going to buy to IT already HAS a phone to pair it with.
Putting a phone IN the IT WILL ACTUALLY force you to pay another phone (the IT itself!) and at a higher price (as it'll be a very nice fully featured and very capable phone).
I think he totally missed the point here.
But I have to admit that MANY of my friends always ask me: is this a phone ?
My answer: no, it was not meant to be.
Their complain: why not? it'd be the top with a phone inside.
Again: 5 minutes of usage, won't help you understand the Internet Tablet idea.

I foresee using it for the same reason, with an additional ultra-compact bluetooth keyboard for faster input, and a bluetooth headset for private calls. Hell, it can even keep me entertained before the meeting, with surfing, music, or an e-book that I'm reading *and* get me to the very meeting without getting lost.

For me, I use SIP. It's ultra cheap and increasingly free (as more people hop onboard and there are bridges between different protocols). With WiMAX it will have the reach of the cellular, but in the meantime WiFi at home, the office, airports, hotels (though spotty), cafes/restaurants is fine with me. Just one less cost/device to worry about.
