Ironically, the device cannot connect to the internet, at least in current trials, through cellular data networks. The device has bluetooth connectivity, which can connect to a cell phone, and then connect to the internet. This is a major drawback that will hopefully be fixed before release. It can also connect through WiFi (802.11b). The unit is driven on a Linux(Debian) platform and sports loads of features. It has an integrated RSS reader so you can keep track of headlines. But the Nokia also seems to perform slowly in trials. Boot up times are slow and response from the touch pad screen seems sluggish. At $350, this small device could draw the attention of folks who want a more robust computing device, without having to tote a large computer around. A great thing about the device is that the OS is upgradeable. In fact, Nokia is already talking about the next release, which will include instant messaging and VOIP(voice over IP). If Nokia can resolve the speed issues and include cellular coverage, this device will definitely sell in their target market.
