Scripting News: Nokia N810

Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

Nokia N810

Just read about this on Engadget.

I know there's a Nokia breakfast in SF starting at 8AM, which I will not be able to make, but as an N800 user, if this product really is coming, I can see two thing right off the bat that address major problems with the previous model. 1. Nokia makes good keyboards, but the old model doesn't have one. On-screen keyboards are a pain, even relatively good ones like the one in the iPhone, but the one in the N800 is not particularly good. 2. The other notable feature is the screen resolution, which looks pretty fantastic.

Anyway, I've asked my contacts at Nokia for info as soon as it's available, but it seems like the Engadget guys are on top of it. If you have any more info, please post a comment here. Thanks.

Later...

Nokia did announce the N810 (data sheet pdf).

Here's a high-res picture.
