C'mon Tex, a little criticism never killed anyone. N800 does certainly have some room for improvment. I'm afraid Cupertino has definately raised the bar.

Now before everyone starts flaming me, I have a 770 and an N800 - I really wanted these things to blossom. When they came out they were the best handheld 'internet' experience. However, I also have an iPhone ( yeah I know - Spit! ) and I find myself reaching for it more often the the n800 for a quick trip to the net. Why?

Maybe it is the better touchscreen, or just the ui's navigation. Maybe it's easier to zoom /pan ( or at least smoother & more predictable ). Battery life is really good. Does media really well too : ) Camera is decent. *Extremely* pocketable. It's not perfect, it's closed, it's not expandable,etc, but it "just works".

Day-to-day I don't really need to ssh anywhere, don't care for skype or vid conf, etc. But I do like an email client that doesn't suck as much, a quick/reliable browser ( though it has shortcomings as well ) contacts, calendar, etc.

Nokia's IT has soo much potential - I'm sure there are people working really hard on it, but it needs to gain some regular-joe usability before it gets left in the dust by either iphone or the sure to come iphone-like intel-based MID's that are on the way.
