Another newbie here who is very satisfied with my month-old N800 now with OS2008. It does all I expected it to do and more. Great Wifi connections, tethers to my SE W810i just fine and e-mail is no problem. It turns on and off perfectly and has lots of battery life.

Loaded Skype... it worked fine.... then I uninstalled it since I won't use it. Same with Gizmo Project (including video to and from my home PC).

Just for grins, I took a couple of DVDs and following a few links and instructions from Internet Tablet Talk, converted and loaded a few movies on the thing for when I'm stuck somewhere with nothing to entertain me.

My N800 rides happily in my car's glovebox where it is used as necessary... not as my primary Internet access tool.
