Garnet VM sucks, and it's a kludge at best. I finally just uninstalled it, because it's so useless. IMO, the reason Nokia left out PIMs and calendar is that they expect you to have a Nokia smartphone, or at least a phone, which has those, and if you don't, you should buy one from them. More sales, more profit. I'm not going to buy a phone from Nokia under any circumstances now, but I think that's their reasoning, faulty as it may be. I also tried the GPE suite, and deleted it. It's also useless. I'm reduced to keeping my contacts and calendar on my EeePC in JPilot. If I could get JPilot to run on the N800 I would be very happy, and look no further. Barring that, I'm still carrying my Palm T3. I don't want to do that, but I have no other choice, and the N800 isn't getting nearly as much use as it could, and should.
