"Hi I think it looks fantastic, the keyboard looks awesome. At the moment I don't think I would be able to justify getting it, as my N800 is still working great. I would reccomend it to anyone who would listen though, as the price is also quite good (around 400 USD I think?) At least I consider it to be quite cheap considering what I know I would be getting. The GPS support, though I wouldn't use it much, is an added bonus."

"Hello! I'm still around - at least when new messages are alerted by e-mail ;) At the moment I am on a vacation in Malaysia, and I will be bouncing between locations until the end of the month, so I probably won't be able to grab the update until then, but when I have had a chance to look through the new firmware I will make an update if no one has done so already.

"RE: N800 (again) I did a general update on the product info. I am not sure how NPOV it should be, but I put in some stuff that wikipedians would call POV, but that I would argue is accepted (and useful) facts. I have to get to bed now, but tomorrow I will look over what I've written, perhaps add some more, perhaps some in-action photos. As English is not my first language a second read-through would probably also be useful. Let me also say that I love wikis of all sorts and that I am as happy every time I find one that might be useful for me. Regarding your need for a palm/PDA, as much as I love the N800 I would not say it is a replacement for a PDA. Currently it lacks good personal management applications. Though very passable calendars, contact applications etc can be downloaded to supplement the inferior built in apps, they cannot be synced with a computer. Personally I am almost always in a wlan zone and use my gmail address book. I had a hard time actually justifying getting the N800 (as I'm still 17, and in the "beg my parents" stage), but now that I have it I have no regrets whatsoever. While I don't actually -need- it for anything, it simplifies quick wikipedia searches, podcast listening, quick mail checking/sending, news reading, IM messages, etc. And only half of what I'm using it for is "intended" usage. It doesn't do anything I couldn't have done with my mp3 player, mobile phone or laptop, but it certainly makes it much faster and easier. On top of that it is just, hands down, cool."

"RE: N800 As for Google docs I wouldn't hold my breath. It is not an issue with the N800, nor is it an issue with Opera; It is Google that has decided not to support it for whatever reason. I don't doubt that it might work in the future, but I don't think anyone has any idea when that will be. As for Zoho I haven't tried it myself, but others that have tried it says that it loads and works, though not very well (problems with the Ajax). As far as Google docs is concerned it might work on another browser, and I have seen the start of some projects developing other browsers. When it comes to my personal method of taking notes on it they are quite unconventional. I made a twitter account for that and I send notes to that account via twitter and pick them up when I get to a computer. It does have a very passable text-editor, as well as multiple downloadable text-editors."

"It's not ready for end-users, but it is GREAT if one likes to experiment. Interesting applications are being developed all the time, and the fact that it is based on Linux makes it possible for anyone to do almost anything with it. It is basically a small laptop with 300 MHz and a great battery lifetime. Its antenna is also great, level with my laptop (which has a good antenna compared to other laptops). But it is NOT a phone, unless you count VoIP. Works great with the gizmo project, and this summer it will also have inbuilt Skype support. It already has built in Google Talk and Jabber support. You can also get GAIM for it and use all IMs that supports, however it made me switch to Jabber as the inbuilt support is inarguably much neater. Basically I just use Jabber to chat to my msn contacts, which works great since I can receive messages both on my desktop computer and N800. I can use the N800 in the kitchen then seamlessly switch to my computer when I'm back at the computer. Sure, it freezes now and then, but that contributes to making it feel more like a computer. My only complaint would be that the Opera mobile browser (that works great) cannot display Google Calendar or Google Documents. Though I personally haven't had it work for me, other people seem to be able to subscribe to their Google Calendars without problems. Still waiting for some solution to the Google Documents problem. Also it is hard to give an answer to the question "What is that?" since "Internet Tablet" doesn't mean much to most people, but that problem I can live with. I have no problems personally recommending this to anyone willing to explore a little. How do you know if it is for you? Google "N800 review" and read some reviews, if you still want it; Get it. If you have any questions I will be happy to try answering them to the best of my abilities, drop me a mail at christianleonardquale@gmail.com. internettablettalk.com is another site you might want to check out if you are thinking of getting the N800."
