I want this so bad. It's the first device I've seen that's powerful, open, and available.

Actually, that's not even important to me. Just the 3G data connectivity. I might just keep my razr for calls :)

I see. For 3G data, I've found tethering to be good this far. I'm eager to see how built-in (versus Bluetooth) data affects the battery runtime. (Edit: replying here because of the reply limit: The previous Nokia internet tablets (770, N800, N810) can tether with any phone that supports the standard Bluetooth DUN profile.)

Can you tether with other Nokia devices?

I've had a Nokia 9300, E71, and other Nokia phones. I have been able to tether with all of them on AT&T.

Same here.

Still, it's a pity that it doesn't have multitouch.
