I have to agree completly with Jeff Mings. I also carry a cell phone as well as a Palm. When my Palm died (I have a backup) I bought the N800.
The GPE-PIM is far too immature to be a replacement (although I use the contacts and todo) and one PIM for the 770 (commercial) actually wants users to pay to sync their data and that's not going to happen.
Yes, I would pay for a good PIM. I won't pay for a PIM if I have to pay to sync my data. I've posted my thoughts on the GPE PIM on the users board so won't repeat them here. I've also opened up bug/feature reports in Bugzilla.
I wrote to several companies who provide utilities I use to try and get them to port some of their apps over to Maemo. So far there hasn't been any takers. I believe though that if more applications for business users become available (shareware or otherwise) then some of these may be ported.
I don't expect Nokia to provide a robust set of utilities. I do, however, expect Nokia to provide better than what they have, e.g. the contact doesn't have an address capability, etc. If they want the N800 to be more than a cool niche device, they should include at least rudimentary capabilities such as a calendar, contacts, and todo.
Regards,
Nick.
