Can't agree with you -- The problem with people today, especially a large crop of idiot reviewers out there today, is that they fail to read what the box says.

Nowhere on the box does Nokia mention that the N800 has PDA functionality, Office capabilities, or is meant to be a mobile phone.

One should not assume that all Ferraris are supercars. Just the same way that people should not assume that ALL N-Series devices are phones. N-Series devices are largely multimedia/internet-biased, which is pretty much what the N8X0 is about.

As a phone, I rate the N800/N810 0/10

As a PDA, I rate the N800/N810 2/10 for the acute absence of PIM functionality

As a device that allows me to make voip calls, listen to music, watch videos, surf the web, read and reply to emails, blog, I give the N800 an 8.5/10 and the N810 a 9/10 (for the hardware keyboard)

Oh, and I give that review a 1/10 -- clearly shows that the reviewer has no idea what he's reviewing. If he reviewed the iT for what it is advertised to do, and criticises it for that it is properly lacking, e.g. Java for banking applications, no support for sites using the latest version of Flash, iffy video after conversion, then I would be in some agreement. But this?
