Hi

I have had my N800 for about a week. It has issues, but overall I am fairly pleased with it.

The browsing performance is certainly much better than on a 520MHz WM6 mobile phone...

What nokia should have done differently is to use the 400MHz samsung processor (equiv to 520MHz strongArm in real terms, while still offering decent battery life). Such a processor would have made it fly.

Other things that are anoying is the waste of space status bar at the top, and the fact that I cant customise the comms tab (I dont use the build in comms features, email, jabber etc).

The email client is a shocker - I use squirrelmail which at least offers me all my folders!! Would be nice to be able to have a link to squirrelmail and to skype/pidgin under the comms tab while ditching the existing view contacts, view in box etc. I tried claws - its way way too busy on such a small screen.

Additionally, I am thinking that better use could have been made of the underside of the device utilising a full-size thin battery rather than opting for a battery from the existing range.

If I had been on the design team then HSDPA would have been in the list as well - the tablet would be a killer if it had HSDPA for broadband access on the move (I refuse to pay for 'hotspots').

Other glaring ommissions are bluetooth PAN - Dial-up-networking means that I have to disconnect my phone from the internet before the nokia can use it.

I tried to use my N800 with orb, but Real Media streaming is awful quality, and it seems that this is all that the N800 is capable of. Comparing orb to my WM6 phone, the ASX format that the phone uses produces a far better quality stream which is much smoother than the Nokia can achieve with Real Media.

To be honest tho, I actually bought the N800 to control WMP!! PlayerPal is what I use for this, ane a modified skin means that the N800 is excellent for this. Seems that I have found other uses for the N800 also tho!
