I have NEVER had a problem installing programs on my previous palm,series 60 or even windows mobile handhelds but with the N800? Big Chore. I even had to check the forums to fiind out why i could not download and install programs. And, to discover that it was because of a missing (i)? Embarassing!!!

Can someone suggest a 'user friendly' alternative to the N8*0? I am starting think that the OQO will be more accessible.

Well I feel the same. You can do the WM iPaqs, they do offer a bunch of new features if your last WM device was 2003SE or earlier. There are a host of new apps available to help out with web use too, such as Opera for WM. The N800 will still support more and have a better screen, though. The OQO is fine, but the battery life isn't all that great, and the price is off the chart compared to other UMPCs. A Fujitsu U810 might be better if you can deal with the much bigger size, or smaller still is the Raon Everun. The price of the Everun is fantastic, and the battery life is very good. It was my next choice after the N800, but the Nokia won on cost. Now the iPaq 111 is on my short list after I return the N800. It will do nicely, and I already bring a laptop to job sites and customer offices for major work on their networks. So I don't need full functionality out of my uberportable. Just music, occasional browsing, and navigation. The notes app is also something I miss from my RX3715...
