I tend to agree as well. You are now where I was about 6 weeks or so ago. The N800 has great potential but it is not a current consumer device. It is not as polished as it could be, the application installation process is not consumer friendly and Nokia should defiantly be more proactive in application development. Your statement about being a project gone wrong is a tad bit off in my opinion. I tend to think of it as a project unfinished or not well thought out. In its current state the N800 will never appeal to the mass market and will continue to be a device with more appeal to the developer/Linux sects. Nokia needs to decide where they are headed with this device.
