Took the plunge today and bought an S5 a real pocket pc - as an N800 owner it's perfect for me - for all you N810 folks who need a physical keyboard, techy. conservatives, check out the Viliv N5. For one thing now that EMGD drivers are out it will be a short time until some form of Linux - Meego - will work very nicely with the evil GMA 500. In the mean time I'm happy living on the darkside with Windows 7 and real portable power.

I wish I never purchased the N900 but well I'm human. The screen was always a tad too small for anything but making calls on and watching a few videos. The N800 w/4.2" screen was nearly perfect for reading ebooks, and taking long detailed notes with xournal and what not. It had a wonderful thing called a D-Pad and could easily be paired with a nice BT keyboard so that even keyboard shortcuts to Maemo desktop were available.

IMO the N900 should have been something like the Dell Streak and even more like the Viliv S5 a piece of awesome portability and even though it wasn't I went for it - what a dunce. The Viliv can easily be used with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse for my work needs and so portable that I can take it everywhere my wandering feet go - I'm basically a nomad so that's the kind of hardware I'm looking for. Yay!
