I haven't used a Nokia N800 or Motorola A1200, so I can't really say
what their build quality is like.
But I have used many many other Nokias and some Motos, and imho the
Neos case is at least as good, if not much better.
The clearance of the case is better than any Nokia owner would dream
of (in fact it is similar to cases that cannot be opened without pure
force).
The plastic is high-quality but relativeley thin (the front and
back/battery cover, easily replaceable) and has partly a soft-touch
finish (the haptic is very thinkpad-like). The plastic frame is thick
and stable, so there's no chance to break it in normal use.
The display is as breakable as any resistive touchscreen device, but
at least there is the (annoyingly high) bezel that covers it on drops.
So - what else can I say? I was really impressed by the build quality
when I got the device, I never expected it. It survived the first
slight drops and I expect it to endure much more.
But well - if a Nokia is your "reference", I don't think you'll expect
much, so you will be impressed :)
Very well then. I'll buy this device as soon as it will be available, no
matter how much it will cost.
