After reading this forum and browsing the Maemo, I have also come to this conclusion that this is not a device for everyone simply because of the subscriber base. Hardly anything written is understandable by anyone other than developers or the somewhat closed community that surrounds the Internet Tablet platform.

I am considering simply putting my N800 on eBay and going back to a normal device where the forums are populated by less snobbish people and those who do not have a problem communicating to non-developers.
hum... as a non-developper I agree that this forum gets sometimes difficult for me to follow (snobbish definitely not!) but there are other forums (or fora?) / support pages focusing on the n800 with more "user friendly" approach. Nokia has one.
