Never used it much, seemed to work well enough after teaching it my handwriting though, but I have horrible handwriting anyways so I tend to stay away from recognition.

Well, it was integrated specifically for video chat and because you're going to be relatively close to the camera, there's not really a need for a really good camera for that. (Yes, I use videochat all the time and no, you don't need two N800s for it.) I use it sometimes to take pictures as well, but the quality isn't very good for that. I would like to see better, but I'm glad it's there. Far from useless to me.

Absolutely not useless.

Could have fooled me. I've been using Gizmo on the N800 as my full time phone for months.

I've yet to see better on any other piece of commercial equipment.

Send it in and get it fixed instead of whining about it then. My touchscreen works just fine (and with heavy chat use too).

Plenty usable for me. I didn't expect it to be a full PC with the absolute best software and PIM. I didn't expect it to replace a business phone like a Blackberry. I just wanted internet wherever I am and it gives me that and so much more.
