Just an important note since you called this a phone in your message: the N800/N810 is NOT A PHONE. It does not have a slot for a SIM card and you will not be able to use it as a normal phone. There's some semi-useful phone stuff you can do (send SMS with Phonelink if conneted to your phone over bluetooth) but this device will not replace a phone, you won't be able to answer calls with it and you certainly will not be able to ditch your cell phone, unless your city is covered with free WLANs everywhere.

Also, Skype does not have video although audio works fine. So: not a phone and the Skype support is a big disappointment. There's Gizmo for video calls but since nobody I've ever met has even heard of it, that won't help you with non-geek friends/relatives. If Skype video worked, this device would have much more non-geek appeal.

I thought it's important to point this out since a lot of people seem to think the N8X0 can replace a normal cell phone. It really can't and is totally not even meant to do that. It's an Internet Tablet, not a phone. Also, if writing is important to you, just get the N810. I like it's keyboard a lot for writing. The on-screen keyboard of the N800/N810 covers up most of the screen when you use it and is not very nice for chatting etc. Get the N810, not that much more expensive. It's a great toy. Go get one
