Hi, I hesitated a long time before getting myself a N800. The reasons why I hesitated are:
- no PIM
- no business suite (I d prefer a Open Office rather a MS Office)
- no gsm/3G direct connection
- no camera (less important)

So I am a perfect match.

Compare the N800 to a HTC or equivalent PDA phone (with the same screen size such as 9000 or just launched Advantage), they have all in one solution (plus I need 2 chargers when I travel if I have a phone AND the n800 )

BUT I CHOSE THE N800 because:

- it s the only one - because of Open Source OS- so far that may evolve to get at least all the sw and applications I mentioned and more.
- I can leave it at home and keep my phone when I don't want to carry it.

My humble - no techie- idea is that online (PIM and Business) applications could be developped. I d pay (lump or monthly) for that if professional level is reached.

Of course that requires full time 3G (and preferably 3.5G or HSDPA) coverage because Wi-Fi is so limited geographically.

By the way, as existing for wifi, no manufacturer has developped a 3G chip integrated to a mobile card? Would be perfect for IT if coupled to BT headset (w/ micro)

Cheers, Seb
