thanks mate for your kindness and the lovely replies you are giving me. On my side i can tell you that i dont know linux at all. i am a little geek because i own a treo 650 and i am quite happy with it. no problem at all since now ( i own it since 2005 ) despite the fact that it has something like 46 apps!!!
something about me. i live in italy and every now and then i go to the states. some months ago i was hit by this thing called N800 so i started getting infos all around the web. i need something like N800 so that i wont carry my dell laptop anymore ( i just need to read infos on the web and write email) but then i was hit by 3 kinds of considerations:

1) all bugs reported on the net (including this forum)
2) what will it happen if i buy it in the states and when in italy it starts giving me the white screen of death?? will they repair it while in europe? (oh,yes...i want to buy it in the states because i would save, thanks to euro, something like 170$)
3)i dont know linux at all.

i see you point sapporobaby. i can tell you that i need it to surf the net. i am willing to solve issues but i dont want to become crazy on something i dont know such as linux! my bigger fears are 3-sec-boots and the white-screens

all these issues (most of allthe fact that it is buggy as i read ) have refreined me from getting one....what to do?? could you guys give me more feed backs for my peace of mind??
thanks!
