Hi there. Around September, I paid $207 to someone on these forums for their Nokia N800. Well, long story short, I never got the N800, and never got my $207 back (even though I used paypal. They're not always trustworthy!)
But I'm considering it again since they're about $120-130 on eBay.
But still, that's 120 bucks used other places.
But, on the other hand. I dearly want a handheld (or highly portable) device that'll let me surf the web with decency (I'm a college student. Wifi is everywhere around here.)
And then I want to use it for my music player. Video player..... Not so much. Except youtube videos. I'll use the mess out of youtube videos (and the ability to download them would be dandy!)
But as far as I've been looking around, the N800 is pretty righteous. It's super cheap (120-130 for the device, and then about $10-15 for a 8GB SD card).
I hear things about the ipod touch... They're around the same price. The screen's a bit smaller, lower storage, and the way to transfer files aren't as easy... (plus I've had a thing against iPods for many years.) BUT I CAN LOOK OVER IT IF THE TOUCH HAS SUPER INTERNETS.
But I'm just asking around.
Primary needs:
1. Cheap. Around a N800's price. ($150-180 range off of eBay
2. Touch screen interface.
3. Wifi. Must. Do. Internet. And not suck.
4. Music player, that can delete songs off the device.
5. Youtube player ( straight form youtube.com or a program that accesses youtube.com)
Those are the 5 MUSTS in order of importancy.
Does anyone know of a device, or am I gonna have to research ipod Touch vs. Nokia N800?
