my two cents.
I remember that New York release date day like it was yesterday. And the how totally amazed at how awesome the n900 was...

I saved the script and left. Now more than a year and a half later I use Ubuntu on both my laptop and desktop, I am administering a Linux webserver and have coded a little bit QT. That is what I expect from the new device. To engage me like the N900 did.
That is a disruptive device. My overly priced VAIO now boasts ubuntu, so does my Lenova and soon my desktop. All as a result of the N900 showing the possibilities that lay in a community provided OS with excellent support.

qole was (is) an N800 man. He had no interest in mobile phones and wouldn't consider purchasing the N810 with its foolish addition of a hardware keyboard and even more foolish removal of dual, full-sized SDHC slots.

Now he's eagerly awaiting news of a phone rumored to have no memory card slots at all. And he's lamenting the impending loss of a hardware keyboard.

Nokia has turned his world upside down and threatened to run off leaving him hanging there.

Things i'm hoping to see are some improvements in app managment, needs to be more user friendly for browsing extra's and testing etc.
i'm interested in the tactile feedback as it's something that is missing in touch interface on an everyday device.
mms for pics, vids, audio? out of box or community? email was a let down on n900 so i'm looking to see if it's been improved.
i accept that this may be just a high end testing the water device to see which things should get the trickle down to wp7 and s40 devices and which were a bad idea.

Who said it'll feature haptikos? I wouldn't put my bets on that.

And I really really love the look on other peoples faces when they want to take a look and they go, "oh! There's a terminal open there!"

Your thinking too deep. Your not a developer, nor am I. Your not getting a Dali. If you do great. You know something phone related that made Nokia decide to send/sale you a phone. The rest of the world ,99.9% of the users getting whatever os shipped will be using the consumer device. That simple.
