Hey Everyone-
This is my first post. For the past few days I have been checking out the N800. Looking for something I can use at work. (3rd shift at the local hospital). I am currently using my son's laptop but he wants it back so I started checkng out the N800.

We have a public hotspot at the hospital and have no problem picking it up with the laptop.

My question is:

Will I have any problems picking up the public hotspot with the N800.
Is the strength of the WIFI for the N800 just as powerful as a laptop.

I tried it once with my son's DS (he has the web browser) but the signal strength was aweful and I could not connect. I just want to make sure that the N800 has the power to pick up the WIFI, thats the whole purpose of the purchase. To surf the web, check e-mail and read the news.

Anyways, I am glad I found this forum, great info and an awesome "newbie" section.

Once again, thanks!
