Even though my N800 stays quite charged, its the lack of quality applications for my specific usage needs that drew/draws me away from it from time to time. The N800 (and N810) while solid devices, are now in the position of being the *last* model, not the *main* one - and the attention therefore moves accordingly.

Mer is a better option for restoring faith/opinion in the N800/N810 (Diablo) side of things because of its close devleopment proximity to Maemo 5. But that's pretty much it. Many developers here have had to make a choice about what they will support (Gtk and Qt, or just Qt); with the momentum behind going mainly or just Qt, its just that developing for Diablo doesn't meet a developer itch anymore.

And isn't this one of the reasons why this site has thrived, developers got really itchy with a device tailor made for them to play?
