While not trying to bash or flame the OP, I think it's interesting that while the Internet Tablets receive negative reviews all the time, I've noticed that each of those bad reviews marks the device for not doing or having something that it's not advertised to do/have in the first place.
The most common hit is not having a SIM card slot, or any phone-like features. Simply because Nokia is a phone company primarily, it's interesting that people expect every product to have phone functionality.
The second most common hit is the lack of PIM/Office software. Again, this isn't advertised anywhere, ever, and in fact, since it's the N8x0, and not the E8x0, there's really no reason that it should be expected.
I had the N800 for over a year, and have recently gotten an N810. I'll confess my usage fluctuates from never touching it to daily usage, but there's several things that the Tablets do exceedingly well, in my opinion. However, everyone's usage and needs are different, so the things that I find useful won't be useful to everyone.
I just think it's interesting that 90% of the negative reviews mark the device for not doing/having something that it was never advertised/intended to do/have.
Kinda like knocking a Hummer for not getting 30mpg or going 250MPH.
