I used to be a C programmer and a Unix tech, and I'm now a data architect (abstract, Hay/Silverston-style enterprise models) so I don't mind fooling around a bit. I did mention in the original post that I realize the N800 is not a replacement for a PDA. I really only use the PDA for phone numbers, meeting reminders, birthday reminders and keeping some notes so I'm hardly sophisticated. That "keep it simple, stupid" mantra is something I follow fairly heavily.

Thanks for the warnings 'though. It's all moot anyways, my local Tiger Direct was out of stock and will not be getting any more. Maybe I'll try another store tomorrow.
