I know, I have one of them, the N810. I got it to replace my Palm TX whose screen died. I run the same type of programs on it as I ran on my Palm. If I could have gotten the NanoNote at the time I would not have because I wanted something with WiFi which both the TX and the N810 had. At the time I got the N810 (summer 2009) you could not get a better computing device for the price if you didn't need a phone.

I also paid substantial money for a pocketable PC (OQO) with 3G data connectivity (because you can almost always get a better computing device for a bigger price). I run the same programs on it that I run on my desktop. If the N900 had been available at the time I got the OQO, I would not have gotten it because it was not powerful enough for my needs.

If you can't define the capabilities you are looking for in any piece of hardware, whether it's a phone or a fridge, you may end up making a bad decision.
