I agree with the HEAVEN feeling, too. I work for a big company and they have been slowly restricting our internet access over the past year. At this point I can't get into personal email, chat, any sites with GAME in the URL and lots of other sites that seem totally arbitrary. I do a lot of software research for our department and part of my job is to keep abreast of new technology developments that can be used to create work efficiencies. Locking down on the internet has killed my ability to do that part of my job.

I had been using my Nokia 6600 phone to do a lot of my personal browsing, but that is so painful. I also installed a chat client and email client, but nothing is fun on that small screen.

Since I got the n800 last week, I feel like I'm back where I was when we had unrestricted internet access. I have t-mobile internet vpn data service on my phone (it's an old service, but they continue to support it). Connecting to the t-mobile service is easy. Just set up a bluetooth internet (data) connection to the phone with a dialup number of *99# with no user name and password.

It's not what I would call a fast connection, but it's workable. Especially good for IM and email. I especially like that it is untethered. I was online yesterday when I went out to lunch with some coworkers, I threw the n800 and the phone in my purse while still online. I was able to pull the n800 out of my purse and give people up to the minute updates on the big news of the day (shootings in VA). People were amazed.

My dad loaned me his old Think Outside Stowaway bluetooth keyboard and it works perfectly with the n800. Now I have it sitting on my desk at work with the n800 and it's just like a teeny computer.

I love my n800. I am a gadget girl and I haven't been this excited about any device in a long time.
