Indeed. As to PIM: At work we push the corporate contact list to everybody's devices, by bluetooth or whatever the device works with. I've got the list on my corporate phone. How on earth can it make sense that I then shouldn't need the (full, all fields) list on my N800? Even more now, when the phone numbers could be looked up by Skype. (Edit: Skype uses a central contacts database, that doesn't interfere with using another, local DB for phone numbers. They wouldn't normally be in the central database anyway.)

As for more PIM: Give me a good calendar, please. And make it possible to set the calendar to start the FM radio, in external speaker mode (and internet radio, obvioiusly). And make it possible to do something so simple as specifying a bi-weekly event, something that GPE calendar can't. For more, look at how flexible the PalmOS calendar is. (Would fix it myself if feasible, but it gets difficult to warp an already complete design like GPE. I'll keep looking though.)

Good PIM can only enhance the functionality of the N800 (ref. above: Making it into a clock radio: The N800 becomes an even more useful travel companion).

(Apologies if I'm just duplicating points already made, I'm trying to read the whole thread in one go.)
