Unfortunetly, no matter how much we like the N800 / N810 they aren't the Ferrari of the handheld world, more like the Shelby 500 1968 - with much soul, great power but in some ways incomplete and lacking.

The reviewer presents only his opinion - and he makes a good point. When WiMax / EVDO / other way to always have wireless connection will come you too will start to wonder how you lived without. The fact that Nokia decided the tehnology was too imature or expensive doesn't mean it isn't a very good idea for a road warrior. Ubiquitos Wifi is only a downtown mark, I know a lot of places that haven't heard of it and still aren't lost in the woods. Following the same line of thought, FM radio is a great addition to any minicomputer - and one of the main reasons I chose N800 over N810.

It may be true - but then again you are also biased: besides owning a similar tablet for a longer time, you already decided when you bought this handheld it was the best suited . Generally only complete newcomers can tell you how it fells without being involved and unfortunetly N8xx doesn't exactly shine for somebody who won't put some (minimal) effort in geting the best out of it.
