Or so I thought...

I got one yesterday and am not impressed.

1) The form factor feels too different. Smaller buttons for power and full screen, no d-pad on the front (unless you slide open the keyboard).

2) Camera has still not improved, it is useless for pretty much any application

3) GPS is quite weak and the map application (wayfinder) is quite terrible. Just entering an address takes forever.

4) The included car holder is of very poor quality, and you can't slide open the keyboard when it is in the holder

5) They dropped the mini USB connector in favor of a micro usb connector... yet another cable to carry

Since it's now over twice the price of the N800 I'd have to say it is very much not worth it. A keyboard and weak GPS don't make up for the big price difference.
