Very interesting specififcation but no keyboard! It's realy an issue.

As a PDA, it's amazing. Linux + good spec + big screen + Nokia + availability/support in US/EU...

The CF and/or SD-IO slot are missing to be able to reuse old cards thought.

The keyboard issue makes it less of a direct competitor to the Zaurus and more of a "lifestyle" choice.

I personally couldn't now consider a Linux PDA without a keyboard after using the Z, however I'm sure that many people looking for a portable media center will lap this up.

I wonder if there is any plans for some kind of Video output, that would make for a very interesting and discrete "living room media solution".

Tread carefully Nokia, we are watching with interest.

It's opera based. I suspect they'll switch to webcore when it's stable enough.

Exactly - I agree - its more of a "Lifestyle" device rather than a Linux based Laptop replacement - where the Zaurus is headed.

I like this device. Big screen, with WiFi, and the most important is great price. I'm thinking to wait for it and buy one. Gave up my decision of buying one 600~700$ C3000.

Maybe a good choice; it does look really great.  If you're going to use it as a PDA, you might need to check that there's a synchronisable personal information manager available.  It's not supposed to be a PDA (According to nokia), but with some slight modifications (Maybe less wide, keyboard), it could be the closest thing to a viable 'laptop replacement' PDA available.

Hi,

I don't if it has been said already but the CPU appears to be only 220MHz and the RS-MMC card is limited to a maximum capacity of 256MB.

See ZDNet and Linuxdevice.com

Keep in mind that the video and audio stuff runs on the lightningfast DSP, so it probably beats any zaurus in video performance.

Once KDE PIM PI gets on there, then this is a strong candidate for my next new gadget.  It's relatively cheap (under the clearance price of a 6000L)!

I'm still waiting though, for a clamshell with wifi, BT and wireless integrated for my ultimate personal mobile tool.  I can't wait to see what the summer may bring.

This sort of thing will really come into it's own when Wi-Max or a similar technology becomes widespread, then people can always have a functional internet connection with them (3G etc is currently too expensive for most people to use it much, e.g. streaming web Radio for an hour would not be cheap!).

I'm still trying to get a grasp of how small or large this thing will be.  Is it similar in size to a 6000?  The sceen is larger than a 6000's, but it should be slightly smaller without a keyboard.  Maybe not by much since it has the dpad.  Similar thickness to a 6000?  I guess it is too big for real pocket device.

It says on the Nokia site that it's not yet compatible with USB keyboards which would imply that it's got USB host.....it's just not implemented in software.
Could be reading too much into it though.

Yes, that is the main question for me too. It does say "USB device mode" in various places though, but if it can be made to support a USB keyboard in software, then it definitely would become a potentially interesting widget -- not so much as a PDA replacement for my Z, but for home use : considering the nice screen and built-in Wifi, by adding a keyboard and a rdp or vnc client it becomes a cheap substitute for those Windows "Smart Displays" (Mira) that MS floated then abandoned a couple of years ago. The concept didn't fly because of the 1000/2000$ price points of the ViewSonic Airpanels and the like (which were otherwise useless by themselves), but at 400$ with dual purpose  (smart display + builtin functionality) it becomes more attractive... Maybe not what Nokia had in mind though :-)
