Yes.

1) It's not stable.

2) Sync does not work. It gets about halfway through and then disconnects. I gave up after a dozen tries over several days to get a hotsync to complete successfully. It never did, not once.

3) It's *tiny*. The Palm T5 screen is roughly the same size as that of the n810. The Garnet VM "screen" is roughly one-third that size, if that.

4) It does not have access to the n810 file system nor to the removable SD card.

5) There is no way to set the Hotsync ID (yes, I have tried the various suggestions in this forum: they do not work), which means there is no way to register 90% of the software that one would use to do real work.

The Garnet VM sounds great in theory. In practice: not so much.
