Hello all. I've been lurking for a few weeks now, while playing with a friend's N770 (he bought an iPhone and hasn't touched the 770). I started playing iwth it, and I really like the flexibility it offers, but I find it rather slow, so I plan to buy an N800 this weekend.

Had a few questions though if y'all don't mind.

1) I'm a Mac user. I have access to a PC (work laptop), but I would really rather keep this all on my Mac. Any other Mac users out there? Has there been any limitations us Mac guys have the PC's don't? I was able to flash the 770 with my Mac, and I'm familiar with the Terminal and such, so none of that scares/worries me.

2) My cell phone is a BlackBerry 8800 on Cingular. From what I've seen on here, they don't play nicely. I'm considering picking up a cheap BT phone to swap out to when needed, any suggestions? I figure a RAZR might be just the ticket, but you guys would know better than me. Or better yet, does the BB 8800 work with the N800 now?

3) What are the preferred brands for SD around here? One of the things I really like about the N800 is it uses SD like my two digital cameras. My camera is not SDHC compatible (Nikon d50), so I'm thinking a 4GB for the internal slot, and then a 2GB on the external should be fine (so I can swap with the camera if needed). Also, should I buy the fastest card I can find, or is there a point where the N800 doesn't gain anything from the faster cards?

4) Has anyone released a hard case for the N800? I agree that the soft case is not cool, and I kinda liked the 770's removable hard cover.

Anyway, sorry to write a novel on my first post, but you all seem like a pretty knowledgeable group, and I tend to research the crap out of my toys. I'm looking forward to testing the limits of the N800 with you all.
