That's what I kept picturing, yeah.

Plus, it's a bit of a running joke at work about the way some people will try to draw distinctions between their own people and any other group of THOOOOSE people.

Ooooh.. so close! You forgot to phrase it as 'What, are you people trying to run Nokia out of business?'

When mine breaks (please no) I might have to pay more for a used one than I did for my shrinked wrapped one. Put that in your convergence pipe and smoke it.

That's exactly what I just did recently. My screen was kinda off--calibration did nothing for it, it was so bad.. and the kickstand broke. So I went and got a new N800 from uBid.com for $209. Lucky. I didn't want an N810 and, really, I love this device.

Nokia was the first one to put out a trulygreat product along the lines of a truly useful debian based Linux system, but it doesn't appear to be the last and might not even be the best pretty soon. When Pandora comes out, I fully intend to get one. Whether it'll replace my N800 will remain to be seen.. but it looks like an excellent contender for my attentions. THIS recent announcement also seems very enticing: http://gp2x-emulation.dcemu.co.uk/gp...nt-141960.html VERY portable! I REALLY like that too! And look! LOOK! A d-pad on each side.. it could actually serve as a MUCH more comfortable way to scroll things or, God forbid, be used in GAMES as trigger buttons!

Are you basically saying that Nokia can't compete with the likes of Gamepark holdings? I suppose you might only be implying they can't compete with the likes of Intel and the other tablets coming out soon?

Eh? eh? are ya?
