Honestly, I really think an asus eee pc is a better choice for this usage. Being that pocketable doesnt seem to be a definite requirement, the addition of a keyboard would make a very big difference to you, as would the larger screen. I would think the most basic eee pc for around $300 would be ideal. The Nokia is a fun little device but as I see it the real benefit is pocketability. If that is not an absolute requirement I would always recommend larger screen size and Keyboard. For typing emails and IM's, the onscreen KB can do it but a real KB is a whole lot better.
