Tobacco...buy it at your corner store. Next year when Nokia releases next model w/3G we can discuss further.
Over my dead 770 ... :-)
Dude...you just don't understand. There are two models which are equally valid...each device to it's own and the convergence model. People want both...not everybody wants to wear a "geek" jacket with pockets for their iPod, phone and N800.
You ... you've been SPYING on me?!?? ;-) I agree, though - there /are/ two models. I think that Nokia's addressing the "convergence-luvvas" quite nicely with their (much much much more numerous) smart phone offerings. The N800, however, is a deliberate step to the other end of the spectrum - single device, single purpose (where purpose=="Internet", not "www", "IM", or "VOIP".)
Why should I carry around 2 devices of roughly same form factor?!?
You shouldn't. In my idealised PAN-filled future, your "phone" doesn't have the same form factor as today; it's merely a voice/audio conduit, attaching itself wirelessly to the "connectivity cube" that talks wifi/BT/3G/GPRS/etc and is the gateway router out of your PAN.
Why should I deal with the BT-pairing/bonding crap involved with two different devices?
*More* than two ... ... but only once each :-)
Have you ever been jamming to tunes on your ipaq/pod and a call came in? It is an often unelegant scramble to answer the phone on your headset.
Not personally, no. Maybe I need more friends ... :-(
Every high-end umpc or ppc form factor has cellular as option...larger tablets...umpcs...and ppc devices like treo/etc. You state: "I don't *want* convergence...I don't *want* a browser on my phone" But guess what? Many people DO want convergence...phones are getting crammed with PIM/web features and screen sizes are shooting up....and conversely pocket pcs/etc. are getting cellular capability.
Cool - let them buy the N93 or other such devices. *I've* got the 770 and N800 ... :-)
It's a computer...not a phone.
Absolutely. Why, therefore, should it have dedicated cellular phone hardware in it?
