The convenient failure of my connection just as I was submitting my relatively long reply resulted in its loss...damn.

Anyway, I was, first, (offtopic, sorry, I know) going to ask - darshan_ucb - do you by any chance go to Berkeley?

Back to the discussion (if not the topic, exactly) I'm not a fan of Blackberries. The absence of touchscreens doesn't do anything for me, and neither does the Storm. Plus that serif font they seem to use so much...not easy on the eyes on a small screen, IMHO.

(Back more clearly to the topic...)
I love the NIT's for their large screens and fairly full window managers. Their interface suggests they think they're more like computers than mobiles, and they've got the screens to back it up.

Still, for convenience (convergence) and, I hate to say it, but snappiness, my G1's become my main device for most purposes, and for the moment, while I'm super busy with school, my N800 and 810 have been spending a lot of time on my desk. Nevertheless, while I think I'll sell my 810 while it still has some resale value, I'm still excited to use my N800 as an ebook reader, video player, and overall convenient internet device around the house.

The G1 definitely has more of the full-screen, mobile interface style (as found on lots of related machines - BlackBerries, iDevices, Palms, etc) which isn't ideal but is better suited to smaller screens. At least it switches tasks quickly.

But as a wearer of jeans that (ahem) the G1 doesn't even always fit comfortably in, it is nice to consolidate into a single device. Though this has also called attention to the problems of having a valuable phone: now I can't leave the internet device at home when I go someplace I don't feel as safe. At least now that I'm on a GSM provider I can drop my SIM into a cheapo phone for more or less the same effect. But I digress.
