this is not a new product line from Nokia. This is the latest in the line of N770 followed by N800.
Like its predecessors, its also not a mobile phone and has no GSM or 3G capabilities built in. You access the internet using wifi or via bluetooth through a mobile phone
so there is no real comparison to HTC at all except for the look, perhaps

Useless niche product if you ask me, with proper phones being almost as capable these days.

I rather enjoyed using my N770 and I do think the ability to use a larger screen, but only when needed, is a definite plus
but yeah, I'd be surprised if Nokia continue this line given the capabilities of current devices like the HTC's and reducing prices of UMPC's.
