True enough, BUT. I still have to lug the z31 or the pitiful one on the cell phone around so guess what gets left at home?

Not enough hotspots out there to access a web based PIM (of whatever sort) so the n800 gets left at home. With a pim for it I'd be leaving the z31 at home (which would make me REALLY happy :-).

Eventually there will be one for it, perhaps even one we can sync to something that is useful to us.

While I understand what you are saying and to some extent agree, IMO it was utterly stupid to not include one, I could live without map, skype and rapsody but the PIM is rather important in my daily life :-). Instead of being as useful as it could have been, the n800 is relegated to a cute little linux toy and I continue to lug around the hated Z31. Sigh.
