Non expandable memory, accelerometer and a-gps? Strange set of plus and negative points together, along with the price which is way too high...

2GB of soldered on memory for that price please!

And shame about the lame hard drive, it'll be a dog... a small SSD, say 60GB, with modest r/w, say 100/50 MB/s would have made the £509 seem more worth it IMHO.

Otherwise it's about the perfect netbook, what a shame...

Too bad I really liked it, but 1Gb soldered just would not cut it for me...
2Gb and even 32Gb SSD would do for that price... Although I would prefer standard non-soldered option.

They are loosing the plot here on price. £500 is way too high for the power this has and if the RAM is fixed at 1GB then it makes this pointless as I think for most laptops/desktops you need 2GB these days.

For £500 I think you would be better off buying a Samsung NC10 and spending the spare £250 on get drunk over the weekend

Either that or a nice Dell, also the Sony P Series makes more sense.

Poulsbo? *ugh*

In other words, 100% useless for Linux users. I thought Nokia knew better than that since they acquired trolltech.
