Hi there. My first post ...

My N810 is called 'brinquedinho', means 'little toy' em portuguese. There is no special reason for that (maybe the size of this gadget).

gypsy; it travels around the world and hacks around (artificial) barriers to get what it wants :)

Man, am I the only one who just calls it "The Tablet"?

My first post -- my n800 just arrived yesterday. I called it "burro" since I expect it to follow around behind me, carry things, and do hard work. Might be fun to change the name from time to time.

In the Arthur C. Clarke novel "Imperial Earth" people of the future have a networked PDA gadget called a "minisec". That could work.

Darkside was used in an early Mandrake distro (now Mandriva). I use it with all my PC and 770/810 installations. No particular reason for doing so.

My desktop is orcrist, my media/fileserver is sting & my laptop is glamdring. Naturally then my IT had to have the grandest name, being the smallest, so I call it GROND! :)

Must be a French thing that : mine are 770FPP, N800FPP, N810FPP and E51FPP.

Either our reputation as romantic dreamers is totally overdone, or I have too many bluetooth devices around :-)

My old N800 that I've since given to my sister was named DIRGE, and the newer one I still have is named RAVAGE.

In my house, there's a Decepticon theme. My main server at home is named UNICRON (because it's the biggest and fastest machine in the house), my laptop is named BARRICADE, my NAS system is named FRENZY, my scratchbox system is named GALVATRON (since it used to be named MEGATRON before I pretty much re-built it, appropriately), my old router computer (which is now another scratchbox) is named RAMPAGE, etc.. etc.. :)
