Sorry for N800. It's a loser.

I have a 770, which broke after a week. Nokia uses legal tricks to avoid repairing it under the warranty. I'll have to repair it out of pocket. Anyway latest phone models from Nokia have been all buggy (I'm a prof. developer for mobile devices), as well as the ton of 770 that white-screen, so I have no reason to think N800 will be different.

I wanted really bad a N800, but now it look really lame compared to the iPhone. The fact that it runs MacOSX means that may be possible to run desktop MacOSX applications. Widespread addoption (look at iPod-fan base) will make that lots of developers will start write for MacOSX. Seems that Apple is combining the platforms it has, unlike Nokia that divide theirs.

The only problem I see is the low screen resolution. I can bet however that in next revisions this will be addressed. Also the user interface will certainly not be matched by Nokia, which really mis-manages their really big screen-estate.

So I can wait a year (till iPhone gets in EU) and hang on the 770 and the SE phone until then. And at that point drop one device out of my pocket

Hurray!
