My Recon has a comparably slow CPU (166Mhz, I believe), and once I figured out a good size/format/fps, I could watch TV shows on it just fine.

That's exactly it. The N800 doesn't have any trouble at all playing back video as long as you work within its limits. You can't playback 24fps stuff at 800x480, but reasonably sized stuff at 24fps and 480x360 plays back fine, and quite honestly, I've had a lot of success taking stuff straight from bittorrent and playing it on the device.

Most of the complaints you hear are just ill-informed.
