isn't reduced.  I like a big screen for spreadsheets, etc. but don't want to
get something as large as the Sony Vaio (which I bought for my wife).  I
currently have the N800 (bought it when it first came out) and N810 (which I
bought around this time last year).  I'm happy with the 810 but would
consider something else if the Internet speed were faster, the processor
faster, and there's more internal memory.

I think the GPS and accelerometer probably are.

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.
