Make the screen about 75% bigger, and the game changes.

Odd... the N800 is exactly the right size for me. In fact, I just checked... it's even the exact size they claim in their ads.

Yep, checked again... they never claimed it was a phone. They never touted it as a camera. In fact I don't even see where they claim it is intended to be used as a substitute for a computer.

You know, now that you bring it up, this IS very strange... apparently, the internet tablets do exactly what the ads for them claim they do... and are the same size as claimed. Odder still, the size is perfect for what I use the tablet for. This is like a Twilight Zone episode or something...

And how dare they not even be a phone... heck even an iPhone is a phone... my free phone I got from my cell provider's even a phone, as were the last 3 phones I got for free, without being locked into a contract... Nokia... what evil is afoot here?

What a devious and underhanded thing for Nokia to do... to build a too small device and trick us into thinking it was a phone and a camera and can do things just like a regular computer... how did they even do it? Jedi mind trick I'm guessing...

Ah, no matter, they will certainly fail in this dastardly plan anyway due to their "too small" size and "un-computerness", just like the iPhone will.
