I've been interested in the N810 for a while, but could never justify getting one. Apparently there's supposed to be a new tablet from Nokia sometime this year. Maybe. It'll be interesting to see. Oh, and the N86 is "official" as of today. Still not doing it for me. Apparently it does have a panorama mode, but there don't seem to be many more improvements. Thanks a lot, again!

The input on the iPhone is horrible. However, its unix in my pocket allowing me to do whatever I need to with it jailbroken. This turns into a big deal for me, for a lot of various purposes. But with apple's approach to control of the device, I would never spend my own money on the device. I will be keeping my eyes over on the Omnia HD when it comes out, but man I wish it was a slider. Not having tactile feedback really sucks for typing fast. I also have a N810, but frankly it has not been very useful at all. But yeah, I have enjoyed the blog for some time, and only discovered it was from Omaha when you were going on about ATT 3G coming to town. Keep up the good work.

You from Omaha too? Awesome. We'll have to compare phone collections someday. :-P And I may have to make that post. I like the S8300 from Sammy, too. I've become quite accustomed to using T9 for a few years now and so the hybrid T9/touch QWERTY is a nice combo. That said, I am kind of head over heels with the Omnia HD right now and do plan on purchasing it as an upgrade to my N82. The N86 and N97 are simply not worthy of my cash at this point. I've never used a touchscreen-only phone before (having a physical QWERTY on the Treo 650 and VZW XV6700) but I'm certainly willing to give it a try. That, and the phone also has a touch T9 keypad too for one-handed use. It's supposed to be out in 2 months or so, according to this video I saw on YouTube, so I'll try to get my hands on it before I leave for London and post about it. Or, failing that, play with one in London. Thanks!

Myself, I was really let down. That Samsung is killer, but I won't do a touch screen only device after having used a iPhone for a while. I want the Samsung with a slider keypad. I can type as fast, if not faster, on my N95's keypad as I can any device with a full keyboard, and it lends its self to one hand use better. Sadly, with the rush to beat the iPhone, everyone is chasing touch devices only. I was hoping to replace my N95-4 sometime in 09, but as of yet I have not seen anyone announce a device that fits my needs/wants. As a side note, love the blog. Its nice to see a fellow Omahaian geek out on this stuff too. Would love to see a post about what S60 apps you use. I agree with everything you say in this post.
