Oh yes, Opera... I am the only one who loves opera? I think it's the perfect browser for this kind of device; lean, fast, great desigm and features... Why not keep it, and keep updating it?

Because it's already old, costs Nokia (and us indirectly) money to be licensed and MicroB (the Gecko rendering engine that will be in Firefox 3.0) is just plain better... and we won't need to wait for Opera to update anything since it's open source. We also have the webkit renderer (KHTML) on the way.

What I hope to see for the next IT:

1) tilt screen. _tilt_screen_. TILT SCREEN!!!! (and no N800/N810 style stand, use the slide'n'tilt screen for that)

2) 2 USB, no barrel charger. Mini, micro, powered or not, none of those matter. As long as at least one can be in host mode. (unpowered host is ok, the places where I'd use it, I could use a powered hub)

3) At least 1 full size SD card. 2 would be nice, instead of a dedicated one internally ... but an external mini SD is not appropriate. (I could forgive them for going to microSD, but I really strongly feel that it should be a full size SD ... but not miniSD).

4) dpad center left. escape/menu/home center right.

5) cell phone quality camera, on the back of the device. I don't care one way or the other about a chat cam (I wont use it if it's there, I wont miss it if it's not). Movies optional.

6) some form of video out. Pref. mini-DVI with DVI-A support for video and VGA.

7) bluetooth PAN (without losing bluetooth DUN).

8) control a cell phone with bluetooth HFP, HSP, ICP, PBAP features. Should be able to do that while also using a bluetooth headset with the IT (so, the IT will talk bluetooth to the phone, and bluetooth to the headset).

Sigh.....I can't beleive it I just can't beleive it.

Doesn't Nokia listen to it's customers and developers I can't beleive they left out the most important thing on the N810. Yeah it looks all nice with it's slide out keyboard and everything but come on Nokia
"WHERE ARE THE LASERS" that Karel has been requesting? We want LASERS.

Oh Well I guess I'll get the N810 and Duct Tape or Velcro them to the sides.

It's not like these are sharks :-)

I loved my 770, but never got around to getting an 800. I guess my biggest gripe was I considered it a tad too large and seriously ugly. :-)

The 810 looks like a more refined product. I'll have to try out the keyboard to decide if I'm going to sell my Nokia BT one. I'm thinking I may stick with the external, though. It was easy to put the 770 on a stand and just work.

My only hardware gripe would be lack of Jazelle/JTEK support (ARM on-chip Java).

Software wise it looks nice, with only two exceptions. First -- who's leg do you have to hump to get .OGG support built-in? I mean really! I hate having to have a separate media player just for .ogg tracks. It can't be licensing fees or lack of code.

Second would be lack of an AD2P profile for bluetooth. Hopefully this will find its way in via an update.

Does anyone know if, or to what extent, the 2D/3D acceleration built-in to the OMAP2420 is utilized?

Wow... about that keyboard...

It's going to do WONDERS for gaming on the device. That part I am jealous about.

I'm hoping for native ogg support in the next OS update too. Since the next OS is supporting a myriad of new video formats, there is hope that ogg will find its way in, on the audio side...

Yeah the only reason I would consider upgrading is because of the gaming capabilities which will be fun on the N810. I would find it hard however to pay $479 for the keyboard and GPS considering I already have a BT keyboard and GPS unit.

Yeah...
Here I was, making the impossible to gather some money to buy the N800 in the end of the year, and now here comes an optimized version that costs twice more! I can't believe how much this is twisting my head.
