So is this actually available outside of Japan yet? It looks like an N810 without the GPS, and with crappy Windows Pocket PC onboard.

I kinda like the dual slide design (and the fact that it has a picture camera instead of a chat camera).

Their dual slide means that you can use the dpad without revealing the keyboard ... yet, for those who think the dpad works when you have it down by the keyboard (so far, that sounds only like nokia employees, but ok), it's there when you open the keyboard.

For form factor, it looks good. But:

1) I'd rather have a tilt'n'slide
2) too bad it runs WinMo (and WinMo 5 at that)
3) bluetooth 1.2 instead of 2.0
4) HSDPA means that, in the US, you'd only be able to use it with AT&T
