Actually, as soon as you rotate the phone into portrait mode, the phone app starts up automatically.

If I understood correctly, it only does that if you're on the desktop.

Considering that no other phone or other device this small hardly even has flash AT ALL, I wouldn't say having ONLY 9.4 is a weakness.

Bear in mind this is only the first Maemo 5 device. There are almost certainly more on the way next year which would probably have different specs for different market segments.
Nokia's never done just one smartphone a year, they've always released about 5 high end models per year (plus about 30 cheaper models but those will be Symbian).
Their release rate on the tablets was low because the tablets didn't sell as well as the phones, but now that Maemo is on phones the extra sales should justify a higher release rate.
Nokia has had their fingers burned over this in the past, they're never going to mess with how phonecalls work again. They cancelled the Nokia 7700 before it was even released apparently because reviewers hated its N-gage-style sidetalking, and had to retool it as the 7710 with "normal" talking before they dared put it on shop shelves.

To your ear ? There is a headset included so holding it to your ear is not necessary. When one holds a phone to one's ear use a regular phone weighing far less than 180 g. And the N810 sized device does fit into a pocket.
The main reason for the 3G added too it is IMHO that for mobile internet no more bluetooth is needed to an external phone.

Is the chess app as crappy as the one for the N800 and N810? Probably.

Heh, no MMS (not that I care one bit), but just wait for the "oh you all bashed iPhone for not having in and now your holy grail Nokia does not have it!" comments to start.

TV out is "PAL and NTSC".
Does this mean it can give either, or will we have different models in different markets?
World travellers are every sensitive to these things.

And 180g is not that much considering that there have been 200gr or heavier phones on the market. But there hasn't been a 5" phone, that'd be just silly.
A 5" tablet is OK, but not a phone.
