Dude, the research done into the emitted radiation so far suggests that it's relatively harmless, but medical science definitely hasn't said the last word on that yet; many longer-term studies are still ongoing. In the meantime I'd be wary of actually shoving a phone into my ear.

What might be interesting is, since it has bluetooth and wifi, seeing if you could use it as a companion for the N800/N810.

1) use the wifi as an access point, for tethering your N800/N810
2) if it does bluetooth-dun, use hat for tethering your N800/N810 instead
3) if it has the right bluetooth profiles, using its keyboard as the keyboard for your N800.


Seeing an updated version, maybe with more screen real-estate and, HSPA, the above communication profiles, and memory expandability might be interesting.

Really? I thought the German keyboards used the qwertz layout. I've tried that layout on a regular keyboard and it is a lot easier typing umlauts instead of using the alt+# combos. Or is everything you type in English?

er... sorry. My bad. I meant to say "since I'm NOT in Germany". (makes more sense when you consider that it's a german phone company)

Thus my pref. for qwerty over qwertz.
