Couldn't agree more with Alex.  A combination of both is a killing! The N810
is not a phone replacement nor the Curve is a good device for heavy internet
surfing/skype/media player(avi-mpg-mp1-4-etc).

There is a lot of things one can do with the tablet, when i had the n800, i
used to manage all my others pc at home, including Mac, Win and Linux.  I am
looking forward to get the n810 soon, and hopefully i will also get the
curve from work.
