That phone suffered one major problem: no GSM 850 MHz support. That limited it, in the US, to operators on 1900 MHz. Although Cingular allegedly supports 1900, it's not really there... so the largest GSM operator couldn't support those tablet phones.

I have ranted and railed on the lunacy of omitting 850 from high-end devices, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. It's really insane, to me, when you look across the high-end N series and some support 850 and some do not. No explanation (excuse) I've heard holds water, either.

Back on topic: if only people here could see the amount of activity going into N800 OS and software development inhouse. Those folks are CRANKING.
