Were it not for the lack of software, there would be no reason why the N810 cannot be a serious contender in the PDA market, or even as a notebook replacement.

In my opinion, Nokia should develop a decent set of apps that handle basic "office" productivity. MS Word is the worldwide standard for word processing. How about an MS word-compatible word processor?
I completely agree. I'm holding out on buying one until either the software improves or someone comes out with something with equivalent hardware and good PIM, word processing, media playing and web browsing software. The n810 only has the last 2, and that's simply insufficient. I love what I've seen of the hardware, but I also have absolutely no interest in becoming a linux expert just to use a device. If it were possible to reflash it to Windows Mobile 6 or if the Palm emulator could be made full screen, I'd get one in a heartbeat.
