Actually, it is flamebait. If you would just dig a little deeper into those "n800 toy" search results you'll find the following:

That coming from an E90 user who mistakely thought the N800 was a PDA with full PIM functionality.
Translation: He didn't do his research before buying it.

I've been playing with it now for a few hours and I think I handle it good enough to be ready to use it fully. Time to upgrade the firmware and start putting things together as I like them to be.

Okay not really, but it does have some awesome features! What’s the new toy? It’s a Nokia N800! What is the Nokia N800? Well it’s a Internet Tablet Device. For such a small device it packs a lot! This is replacing my Laptop in most cases. I no longer need to carry my laptop around with me everywhere I go since I can now use this to do a majority of the things I need to do. When I was at the Web 2.0 Expo I had to carry my laptop EVERYWHERE with me, but if I had this with me I wouldn’t have had such a large issue like I did when I had my laptop with me. Carrying a laptop to a conference and sitting down on a floor or chair to use it for an hour is not productive at all especially when you have to turn it off and on. So this would be my answer to many things!

If you had taken the time to actually read more than the titles on a Google search you'll see where they weren't really referring to the device itself as a "toy" with "toy-like" features.
But you didn't. You did a rapid Google search to try to justify your thread title after the fact but failed miserably.
