Perhaps that's where they're going...
Ahem, E65 and E51 are not the same software. I in the end decided against the E65 because it wont upgrade firmware via USB, nor does it have fp1 which enables OTA firmware upgrades. E51 has fp1 though. I am looking closely at the E51 though.

Texrat,

I too feel that the move to mini SD is fine. The N810 is a step in all the right directions. It needs to be pocketable, contain a good amount of built in flash, navigation, and a keyboard. Tons of new stuff, at the cost of a full size memory card? Maemo has very basic media functionality, I sure wouldn't use it for 16gb of music. iPods and iPhones are much better for that.

A few gigs of tunes and movies is just fine for an Internet based device.

I don't want an iPod for storing my music. That'd just be one more device that has to touch my hands.

Here's what I want: official out of the box support for bluetooth hard drives. Preferably something transparent to the user (can you do NFS or CIFS over bluetooth-PAN? if so, then add bluetooth-PAN to the internet tablets, and make sure the Seagate DAVE and Agere BlueOnyx support that).

I'll only buy another iPod if it comes with Bluetooth and supports exporting its files to other bluetooth devies, via Bluetooth FTP or NFS/CIFS/Apple-File-Sharing-Protocol via Bluetooth PAN.

That's true, they both run S60 but the E51 has the fp1 update that I believe has some usability and visual improvements. I think it's maybe tangential to the point I was trying (perhaps poorly) to make, which is that Nokia has many phones in the E-series all with slightly different specs and form factors but all doing essentially the same thing. E61i with bigger screen and a keyboard versus E51 which focuses on being teeny and sleek.

My naive impression is that Nokia is trying to build an IT line around the same concept.

That's not so naive.

TV/video out?
I also want to know if there is ANY hope for simple A/V out on the N810? It's a shame for this device to support so many video formats and no way to get the video OUT.

Not unless you want to dive in and start soldering BGAs.

The pre-alpha release seems to suggest that the RX-51 will have TV out, however.
