Many of the points made are good ones, but to each his own on this one.
Personally, I am 100% behind convergence for my pocket devices.  I don't
want to carry more than one.  I may look like a "prat" with my
microphone-equipped earbuds plugged into my phone, but no more than any
other person listening to music, or really anyone walking down the street
with one hand held against their head.  These days, those people look
stranger to me than ones that have their hands free.

I doubt it.  The N810 already has GPS in it, and Nokia is shipping both of
these items (and more) with devices that are fully subsidized.

I wouldn't want the N900 to only come as a subsidized option, but I would
like to see it in both subsdized (carrier-tied) models and fully open ones.
Choice is always good.
