Heh,

After reading all of the posts that we're made while I was asleep, I can really say it has been an entertaining read. I actually liked Luketoh's post, which he more eloquently put what I was implying.

My post was just to say that while the n800 has cool features with cool new apps that continues to be developed at a feverish pace, the n800 itself, our of the box is a disappointment. That is why the n800 is not selling in the millions worldwide as it takes a lot of work to get it to the level of 'coolness'.

I bet a lot of word of mouth recommendations go like this "This n800 is sooo cool, buy it and you won't regret it. Oh, but note that you need to flash it first to the latest firmware, you need to download this, do that..and please go to these websites to tell you how to do it"

That was what I was trying to say. And if Iballs took the time to understand what he was reading in the context of the sentence "So will all of you..", I meant that we have to wait for the develepors to have time to fix the annoyances that the n800 has, as programming for free ain't that quick

An n800 is like a fat and slow spouse. While the people that love the spouse will say all the good things about him/her and how he/she is better than him/her, it doesn't hide the fact that the spouse has to work hard to look good..new clothes, probably go on a diet..

So we as users settle, and tell ourselves that its okay to wait 10 seconds for a page to load up vs 1.5 sec on a laptop on the same connection, all because its better than using other tablets which takes 11 seconds. In this day an age where everything goes at lightning speed, the n800 still needs some grease on its skids.

And for Iballs, I will settle and love my n800 just like you do, even if its slow (but faster than other tablets), doesn't work as well with some sites (other tablets are even worse), and reflash and format every single time a new update comes along (other tablets only update once a year!)..

So I will settle..

And so will all of you <<-- I just typed this again so Iballs can write another long response on how I shouldn't speak on his behalf, and he's not settling coz he thinks the n800 is perfect..
