and screen size < 4.3" and all specs remaining same = Phone ?
Is this the new definition of Tablets ?
I though so far the debate was if it had only GSM data capabilities but no voice we would call it a tablet.

Yeah i am disappointed and would not like to waste anymore time.
For all the patience and support to nokia, tablets and maemo i think we deserve the answer to this simple question. Its not for fun. Its about making a decision for the future whether to stay here or move on.

Nokia shoul really create a device with >5"
The screen would be all over scratched in couple of hours, the battery would be massive size or empty in couple of hours and it wouldn't fit in to a pocket.
The size of the n810 is just perect, keep that. It the screen size of n810 was over 5" i'd have never bought it.
If it's tablet device is too big to fit in a pocket, why not just get a laptop, the screen would be more safe.

Forgetting where I should post my thoughts now... 
I'm wondering if all of the "lead device" and "flagship" stuff is signaling a complete reorganization of the Nokia model line-up (phone and otherwise). Could it be that top Nokia management has seen the light about open source and Maemo and would like their entire line to feature phones, tablets, and other devices based on some sort of Maemo/QT conglomeration?
Think about how exciting this would be... All of the talk of "multiple Maemo devices" wouldn't just mean a small subset of Nokia merchandise, but an entire line of a new generation of Nokia super computers that can fit in your hand or your pocket or wherever you'd want to stick it (um, get your mind out of the gutter!).
Just wondering out loud.

Highly unlikely. Common sense says that they will release one model look at the response and plan later.

The hints of both RX-51 and RX-71 in the SDK could indicate that the start of such a future is closer than we think.

Nokia needs to not loose this market of Internet tablets that it started. It shouldn't just copy the competition (iPhone), it should compete with iPhone with N900 3.5" Maemo phone, but at the same time keep its direction to provide users with a Internet Tablet with screen size > 5" and also having 3G data connection, and even GSM. Customers love big screens. They love big screens if the display has a big resolution like 800x480. Because it makes web pages easy to read (size of font) and videos good to watch.
Remember 3.5# iPhone has a smaller resolution of 480 x 320 which is perfect for text size, font size in web pages. For such a big resolution 800 x 480 a 3.5" display is too small IMO and Nokia shoul really create a device with >5".
Does anybody know if N900 has Multi-Touch because D-Pad seems to be out and no Track-ball? Also is this capacitive (I assume only the capacitive display can have multi-touch, correct me if I'm wrong).
