Who knows why people buy things and what expectations they have from them. I for one got tired of lugging my laptop everywhere just to be able to check my email and browse some web while getting leg burns from the bottom of the laptop. Getting N800 I knew it was not a cell phone and wasn't expecting it to be.

N800 fits the need perfectly. Since I'm on gmail I don't need any native client. Opera is not perfect but does the job. I'd prefer Firefox (no not Minimo), but...

And then I figured I could use it to listen to music stored on my server. Canola is a beautiful piece of software that doesn't fit into "crippled down desktop app" category. Why are people complaining about lack of good media player on N800? UKMP also looks very promising.

And then I figured I can watch movies while I'm on the road on the awesome 4.2 inch wide screen.

And then I figured I can add GPS to it and be able to use it in the car while listening to music through car stereo system via $9 cassette adapter. If I can only figure out how to watch a movie while navigating with GPS and ... Just kidding.

If Nokia added support for A2DP and Skype, I'd sell my cell phone (well maybe not right away).
