I would not buy one based on what I've learned so far. Having a dongle for 3G connectivity seems like a bad design decision. The storage seems anemic, at just 2gb, and the main memory being 256mb makes me wonder why I would want to get rid of my old N800 for this.

It would be acceptable if the dongle was in an internal or snap-in bay of some sort, so that it could not accidentally become dislodged and did not mar the shape of the device.

Yes, right. The main selling point of this device, is the small size, that makes it really easy to carry in your pocket.Also as mentioned in previus comments in this thread, the 3G dongle is designed to be as smallest as possible. Regarding the anemic storage, you can always upgrade it with T-Flash. And the RAM memory is good enough to run smoothly with any application. Thanks for your comment.
