Where:
I live in the GTA.
What:
N800 with latest Diablo
When:
Bought in July 2007 from TigerDirect.ca
How:
My in-the-wild usage goes like this: I use mine at shopping malls to check mail, while waiting for appointments at Dentists/Doctors, at work to listen to MP3's, radio, etc. Typical usage. I pair it to my el-cheapo Rogers Pay-as-you-go cell phone for coverage when I am away from a wifi spot. Works like a charm. When I travel for work, or on vacation, I use Gizmo as my main contact number for family. I have a dial-in number for Gizmo, and my family can contact me on it while I am on hotel wifi. Incoming calls are free, and with my local 416 number, it is also free for my family. The NIT makes an excellent VoIP platform. A little panache in this area for the Maemo 5 devices will make these things even more awesome. For instance, being able to have the NIT ring aloud while a headset is paired would make it even more VoIP friendly.
I have never seen a NIT in the wild yet. Edit - OK, I have once. I ran into a friend on a flight into Toronto. I knew he had a N810, and he showed it to me while we had a drink at Pearson after we landed. The N810 was just released at that time, and I was curious what the keyboard was like. That friend got me into the whole NIT scene when he was raving about his 770. I guess that is the only NIT sighting I have had in the wild.

. Reason: Added more in-the-wild uses, and one sighting.
