Hi,
Reviving this thread briefly, I'm surprised I've not seen any mention of
the Palm Pre during it, it's even due out this month (though exclusive to
02) and generated quite a buzz when launched in the US earlier this year.
Also has anybody seen a confirmed release date for the Nokia N900?

We all know that it is only rpm's that give you hell!
