Good point. I have tried to convey to certain people in Nokia that more and more people are looking at the N800 as their "smartphone" device and the phone as its bluetooth modem. Yes, that oversimplifies the situation, but I think this reversal of roles is what the user base is determining. So, as the other post addressed, add a PIM and an N800 + simple bt phone combo is killer.
That's kind of what I was aiming at, Texrat. Looked at a Blackberry, but didn't like the form factor, and was tired of squinting at WAP pages. So I got a normal thin phone and the N800. Problem is, I don't want to pay Verizon the $60 a month for a data plan, so I'm waiting/hoping they come out with a different price structure that I can afford, and then use the phone as a BT modem so I can surf whenever/wherever.
