I happen to run a PC support business supporting over 650 clients and have over 16 years Windows experience. I don't think I could fit all that is wrong with Shitsta into this box. No, it's NOT the same as when XP came out. I remember that well. The Primary difference was that XP was a significant improvement over it's predecessors. It is faster, more stable, more plug and playable and easier to use than 98, ME, or 2000 was. It eliminated the 16 bit bottleneck. Vista is none of the above. It is SLOWER, even with the added hardware, it is more annoying, no, asking you before you do anything is NOT security, just as surely as making you sign into a big building before you can enter isn't. it's an annoyance to the user, but does NOTHING to stop those who wish to get around it. Familiar apps and controls are moved and renamed for NO logical purpose, and it just plain offers the user ZERO practical improvements over it's predecessor. Sorry, prettier doesn't justify it.

I have been considering selling it. Pre-Diablo, it actually worked pretty well. I was initially excited by Diablo's release, though why it took so long for Nokia to come up with the ability to upgrade without a reflash is beyond me. But ever since the upgrade, things have gone downhill. First with the e-mail unreliability, now with the loss of Pidgin, and ho substitute. It has a few advantages over an Ipud Touch, but the advantages are beginning to tip. In the end, I need ease of use, quickness of interface and reliability. I strongly believe in KISS, and the NIT is anything but.

As for accessories. have you lost a stylus??? Try getting a replacement. I had to search high and low to get a car mount that was usefull. A case I finally found barely fits. Other than that, forget it, at least in the US
