The additional features of the new software edition include enhanced text typing with full-screen finger keyboard, improved memory performance, and fresh look. Additionally, there is an improved home view desktop that allows users to choose from a variety of small applets to enable fast access to Internet services.

In addition to Google Talk, which is based on open standards and is compatible with all instant messaging clients that support Jabber/XMPP, the tablet also offers Google as the default search provider, which makes it even easier for users to get the information they need quickly and easily.

I have this device. I purchased it in USA. It costs around $400. THIS IS NOT A PHONE. This like a hand held laptop. The connectivity is through WLNA (b/g). You can also connect to GPRS via bluetooth if you have a phone that has bluetooth.
It is currently not available in India. You cannot buy online also to ship to India.
I use it for quick access to Internet. I found it very interesting.

The review does not say its a phone so no GSM or GPRS
I checked the specifications on Nokia, Europe website.
Buying online is possible but only for selected countries - India not included...
I really hope that they sell it in india at a competitive price so that i can buy a nokia N70 to go with it instead of a Nokia 9300 (standalone)
