No doubt. This is about as good as geek hype gets. If Nokia has made the correct refinements to the brilliant n900, my money is already spent.

The only leaked RM-680 pictures we got from end of 2010 never had hw button below the screen if that's what you meant.
You are thinking about E7 or something else.

Probably we won't know for sure until Nokia will say something officially.

@daperl
Haha love your avatar man.

BTW, there are some rumours floating around that Nokia will make two open devices this year. The first one with keyboard is N9 and the second without keyboard is N950. Nothing confirmed yet but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the truth.

I think your write, I mistaked this with some E7 mock up....

wonder if this has the same slide trigger to unlock phone as the N900 ???

Based on the discussion above... it looks like the consumer device will not have the hardware keyboard while the dev version is the above one.
That sucks. Why not just give the option to consumers to choose between the two?

I don't think they'll make a promotional video with a development prototype.

Oh frack me! This is fast moving from dream to nightmare... I can only speculate, but everything I've heard about "the meego device" before the FCC news suggested that it would be 'lankku' which is without a keyboard.

Or the other way arround. N950 with keyboard like the N900. And the N9 without keyboard like the N8...
