And you're right about what I should do if I want more commercial software. But I do love the N810. It's just that when I bought it I had expected more support in the near-future from commercial-level 3rd party developers. But it seems that numbers outweigh superiority - and they ran to support iPhone/iPod Touch which really makes sense if one is "commercial".
Hi Dan,

Be happy you're able to see bugs, and remember you're able to contribute your pennies to such problems. If you'd like to see the bugs in Microsoft Windows you're gonna get quite a shaft: they don't have a public bug tracking system. If you take Apple, they're not open about their security patches either. Bugs in Symbian and Windows Mobile applications have existed; some for long time.

Don't forget this community has contributed a lot to Maemo, Nokia, and the members of the community.

The state of PIM (or PIM-esque) applications is low on the NIT, I agree with you on that. There are many options available but none of them is polished or perfect. However, one can use cellphone for this, or use Google Calendar integration, use a Palm emulator, or one of the many PIM applications available.

You can help to contribute to solving the problem by following this thread and expressing yourself after you read the thread.

As for strategy game. Look at the Games subforum. There are tons of games for the NIT as well as tons of emulators.

If you prefer a vendor lock-in, closed source and proprietary solutions, limited set of applications, SLA or commercial grade support then the (current) NIT is not made for you.

Basically, the current state of the N800 and N810 is that they're not yet end user friendly in some regards. The tablet and new OS to be released approx summer 2009 will make huge leaps forward in this regard. Stay tuned!
