I am a software developer (C# & .NET mainly). I Love the windows mobile platform to work with. Small size, WM6 Pro and the touch technology of the N2 is why I bought it. I would not buy this phone if it were larger. The phone does have alot style in the N2 iteration, at least for me. I won't be paying 60 USD/month for internet access on it, I pay that for a SIM in my Vista UMPC that I can do real work on. I do think I will do some emails on it though. Maybe write a touch keyboard, not like iPhone, something that works on this form factor, but will be intuitive simultaneously to new users. T9 predictive is painful for me. I think keeping the model small and introducing an alternative larger screen model for browsing might be good. The gestures might have to be altered though and the IR beams carfully columnized. I am glad someone finally figured out where to put the ear speaker so as not to smudge the screen. Actually now that I think upon its placement, it was a necessity. I think perhaps the technologies utilized in the N2 design gave form to it's design. -Have Fun (:
