The only thing I have on my phone is phone numbers - I don't use the calendar or anything else, because it's too much trouble on a tiny device, and I can't sync it to my PC, so it's useless for me. Give me robust PIM support and a good password manager that can import my current passwords, and I can give up my Palm. My phone won't cut the mustard, and I don't want a smartphone, or a data plan.
So you'd rather haul around two devices (a phone and an internet tablet) than just one?

Personally, if my treo could browse the real web properly, had one more SDHC slot, ran an OS that allowed real multitasking, and had a bigger screen, the nokia would be pretty much pointless, as the treo does everything the n800 does and then some.
