The video quality is excellent, the mp3 playback is really smooth. Not to mention the excellent mail application included. Also the installer.app has brought nice apps to use. Not to mention the possibilities that the SDK will bring.


If I would stick to my regular combo that I have now, I would need a charger for my motorola phone, charger for my n800, and an iPod to plug in my car to play some tunes / or in the worst scenario a third charger. Too much stuff to carry around. Too many gizmos to worry about.

With the iPhone it's just one gizmo + usb cable. And you're good to go. Sure it doesn't have the voip functionalities. But then again how would you benefit those with GPRS connection.

Sure the N800 will have canola, and such but the main reason for this switch is the calendar. N800 never came to what I thought it would. Too much hassle with beta / demo apps. Broken repositories. And a far inferior touch screen.

Ofcourse I am gonna keep the nokia, since the resell value is next to nothing. Don't get this the wrong way it's a nice toy to play sometimes, but for casual action it's not practical. And when the 3G iPhone arrives, nokia will have some hard time keeping up.
1. the nokia also can be charged via a usb cable.

2. Voip definitely works well at edge speeds.

3. You could always use n800 with canola in your car.

4. nokia has many 3g phones since a long time and they are going to release a touch screen version of s60. So dont worry at all about nokia keeping up.

Nokia just does not like working in the US especially where the cellular providers want everything. rest of the world where there is not that much dominance of the cellular providers and where the customers are free to choose what ever they want.... nokia rocks.
