Skype's the only thing i've seen used for VOIP in enterprises mainly because almost everyone uses it.

Apple claims "real internet" that is easy to use on a mobile device. That is exactly the main selling point for the Internet tablets for most (non-hacking) consumers. If it really works as well as they claim, than nokia will need to improve the IT platform really fast, or end up losing a LOT of customers.
Extremely limited javascript, no flash, 320x480 resolution, no true 3rd party apps, completely closed, more expensive... where's the competition here? The only real thing IPhone has over the N800 is the fact that it's Apple screaming far and wide about it, whereas the Internet tablets have been relatively quiet... well, no, there's one more thing - the Apple fanbase/fanboys.

Considering the buggy state and bad UI of a lot of the other application (google talk, RSS reader, email) on the platform, I would think REALLY hard before I would ditch the best application on the system.
Well, I can tell you that KHTML is very stable and relatively bug-free as well as the highest standards compliant rendering engine out there right now. I've only used it as my desktop browser (KDE's Konqueror) - can't say I have much experience with Safari or the S60 browsers... so I'm unfamiliar with the tweaks that Webkit's done to it, but if they switch over, I'm pretty sure we'll be happy.
