The quality of the OS and available software will be my benchmark. Based on those two I'll decide to continue with the whole Internet Tablet experience or not. Not based on new hardware. That's what the N770/N800 story made very, very clear.
I'll think twice before spending any money on any Internet Tablet.

BTW, even the second button under the D-pad, has a similar icon that the 7710 has:

Maybe it is a second Nokia S90 phone ?
And just out of interest, you sound pretty sure the call handling buttons are on top yet they're not visible in the engadget photo's... how are you so sure they're present on this prototype?

I found this 7710 image on Google which shows the call handling buttons on the side/top, but just because one device has the buttons there doesn't mean this prototype device will also have them there, or have them at all... 
Until we see a photograph of the side/top we don't know what extra buttons are available (inc. zoom/full screen) and if call hangup/answer buttons are present then it's definately a phone, but if not it might be an IT.

I hope it's not. I don't think a keyboard makes sense on the tablet. Just adds size. I use my n800 just as much without a keyboard as with. And with one, the BT keyboard works just fine.
Now, it does need a faster CPU.

Here is one example of what we used to do because Psion S5 had good keyboard and battery life. Laptop battery simply wouldn't last through a full day.
In sincerely hope that whenever a successor comes for N800 it will have a good keyboard. But as I mentioned in my earlier post, Nokia's track record there isn't exactly stellar.
