Up to 16GB. But that can be upgraded also.

2) Can ANY of the current PIM apps "ring" an alarm while the n800 is off? Does the iPod Touch's calendar do this? I have the short-term memory of a brain-damaged parakeet and I need the device in my pocket to alert me when it's time to go to an appointment.
GPE Calendar (http://www.cobb.uk.net/NokiaIT/index.html) can do that.

3) How hard is it to install these things? I am definitely a Linux newbie.
Most apps are available at http://maemo.org/downloads/, you only have to click the button. That's it. Really.

4) How is the earphone sound from the n800?
Average.

5) How obsolete is the n800? How long will it be updated/supported not just by Nokia, but by the community?
The N800 has the same hardware and OS that new released/to-be-released N810 so it would be fully supported in the short-term.
