If you'd ask me, these are all apps that hugely benefit from the bigger screen the N800 offers compared to 3,5''
So screensize would be a step back in *my* usecases
You're forgetting one of the biggest use cases of all - cellular voice. Once the decision was made to include cellular voice (whether due to the Pre or otherwise), the 3.5" screen makes sense. How many GSM phones have displays larger than 3.5? - very few.
