I can't yet, but I will very, very soon. The Palm Folio and other "copy cat" phone companion devices will be great. I can do VASTLY(!!!!) more on my windows mobile device than on my n800. Granted the update was decent, but I still cannot view a word document on the n800 (I know . . . . I know - it is not supposed to be for that but I think the "it's an internet tablet" excuse is overdone), cannot use citrix, cannot view www.howardstern.com or www.seamlessweb.com (two sites I look at everyday), cannot stream sirius radio, and there are many, many more. I can do all of these in a second on Windows Mobile devices. The only thing that cuts against my Motorola Q in comparison to my n800 is the quality and size of the n800's screen. Just wait, I hate to say it, but Nokia will be crushed eventually. The n800 is a nifty gadget, the people on this forum are incredibly dedicated and helpful to people like me that have a hard time using the n800, but it will die within about 2 yrs. If the vadeem clie were updated for example, who would want an n800.

All this said, I for one will probably buy the n900 when it comes out
