hey everyone,
i just bought an n800 instead of an eeepc,
here's why:
as a non-nerd (sorry guys), and a young post-graduate, I have never utilized pim software, i don't watch movies when i'm out and about, but i check my email.
i use my laptop for three main things (four if you count the occasional dvd)

1. writing - journalistic, emails, etc.
2. internet/email
3. listening to music

an eeepc would merely replace my laptop (which is actually just a 3.2lb acer travelmate) which is not very interesting.

what IS interesting is having something super light that i keep in my bag that can connect me to hotspots basically whenever - throw in the igo keyboard and i can compose emails and write all i need just like that - all with a decent amount of screen real estate.

i've tried to write on pdas before and it just didn't cut it - but honestly, if i'm going to be wandering around a city and want to follow a map program, do i really wanna pull out a flip top?

haven't gotten my n800 yet, but i think i made the right choice... and saved $200.
