Same here. I've always been able to browse and transfer files to my Nokia phone immediately after pairing. I don't know why it treated the N800 differently.

Since I'm not able to sync anything, there's no real advantage aside from my lazy butt not having to get up and go grab my N800 when I find something I want to send to it when it's sitting in the next room. This way when I do get up to go out I just browse to the Drop Box on my N800 and drag the files to one of my SD cards before I leave.
