I like turtles.

I'll cook and eat a rabbit if the next NIT won't have a better processor, SD, and some other goodies.

Save the wabbit!

It's got internal Bluetooth now, didn't you hear? Also, the bluez stack is being ported, so...

It's kinda funny; with the N800 we had to wait months to learn what the easter egg was. With the Pandora you get the hidden goodies even before it's released.

The Pandora already comes with that better processor and goodies, although I don't know what "SD" means.

Incidentally, it'll have Firefox 3 as its web browser, which should make that verkocknete "mobile web experience" a bit more bearable.

Also, I like rabbits. Preferrably as a stew though...

Well, I tried all of those too !!!!

I like it for internet radio, but when I'm sitting, I'm usually at my computer, and that plays better without draining the battery... the same about MP3s.

I find the screen too small for comfortable reading. For webbrowsing, paradoxically, it is pretty good, but I don't like the available browsers.

No objection here, but I'm using trusty old bc for my needs... this should give a hint about my geekness score

No Exchange support, deal breaker. Embedded app doesn't handle well the thousands of mails in my gmail account.

See comments about the browser. No java and questionable flash are pretty much deal killers. Lack of Firefox add-ins is the final nail in the coffin.

This is good on the go. It could be better if not supported via not-so-nice-plugged-in mplayer, and if it not need time-consuming (my time) converting. Should be able to accept direct dumps, big flash memories are pretty cheap these days.

I'm not into this kind of business, can't comment.

GSM hardware would be much nicer

I'll stop here, and remark that all those experiences you further listed are shaky and require some contortions, and I'm not seeing anybody stepping up to bring them on to consumer level.

I moved away from windows about 8 years ago because I was tired to have to babysit the systems, and I wanted to have something that just works. Weird as it sounds, Linux was such a platform. But NITs are not .

you know the problem with pandora right....most of us already have a n8x0...and we want it to be better... now i want rabbit stew....thanks...

I access email served by Exchange by using the Outlook web client via my tablets.

They're not going to get better. By now the platform's hardware limits have pretty much been reached. Look e.g. at mplayer: It'll never play 800x480 movies on the Itablet at full framerate without stuttering.

And don't get me started on text input on the Itablet...

Well, I don't know about you, but I actually like having my emails offline ... maybe this is why I loved the m105 ?

On a more general note, I'm not saying I don't see the purpose with the current NIT. For an "internet tablet" is barely acceptable, and as a toying platform is pretty good (this is why I have it).
But it can be better. Way better, and that way better with just a little more effort (if you look at my original post, you'll see it's not only wishful thinking, but, at least parts, really doable).

My problem is that I don't see NIT (or any other device on the market, either the iThing or something else ) as an ultimate portable device. But the NIT is the closest thing to the ideal, and I really want (me, us) to drive (push !!!) Nokia to take those final steps over the edge.

we were promised through ads and various gadget blogs a wonderfull all around gizmo. we were of course sold. instead we got a poorly build piece of crap loaded with the worst kind of software; the faulty, slow and nerdy kind, not good for anything. and people have the nerve to compare it with sleek products like the ipod/iphone! why dont you sell it you might ask. I just made a bad choise, i can live with it, no big deal. claiming though that this crappy device is any good is just nonsense. nokia has tricked us into buying this crap and by us i mean anyone who thought was buying an END-product. almost nothing works. Would you recommend it to your friends? yes or no? does the device fullfill the specs as advertised?

ps. by no means do i mean offense to this great community. with out your help i would have thrown it out of the window the first day i got it.
