such a great little device, yet its nothing more than simple software that is killing me and frustrating others...i know its an "internet tablet," but seriously, wouldn't you maximize your profits (nokia) if you developed some reliable PIM functionality?

in the business world, things like PIM and microsoft compatability are essential, and i feel like the potential of the Nxxx isnt being utilized
I feel much the same way. I find myself living half way between these platforms, with neither really meeting its fullest potential. It seems to me the units are more than capable hardware wise and the issue is really software. Obviously as a user I am trying to embrace what my N800 is offering right now, but at this point I too fail to understand why even good mid level PIM support is not there...from Nokia.
So I use my Treo650 for my basic calendar etc and I enjoy the easy ability to just beam or send contacts,events, business cards etc to my 'spare' TX, or a business associates who are using various versions of the PalmOS. My efforts on my N800 just have not worked.
TreoMemo and Tealscript are two well done programs I found very useful and would love to see working well in the N series in some way.

While I love the intelligent simplicity of the Palm appearances, I really do like our Nseries interface. So for media play and a few other good apps, the IT N800 is still a fine fun gadget, yet I wish it could realize its fuller potential before the gang at Nokia ditch it and move on which according to the latest notions is likely not too far off. RIP 770.
